Here's what would set YaBB apart from all other boards...

This would be so hard to do, it's almost not worth it.  I personally have no use for it, but here show goes.

I was playing on a few other forums (not YaBB based) and some posters had info not in English.  I got to thinking how neat it woul dbe if built into the board was a bablefish like translating engine that could convert the posts from any language to your language (based on prefs).  

Yes, you can set your lang. settings in the profile section now, but that's not what I'm talking about.  I'm talking about actually translating the whole board, on the fly, with a translation engine.  No one can do that now (and probably for good reason, I can't imagine this would be easy).

Anyhow, just a thought.  Maybe you guys have an uber coder that could make this happen in a day.  No idea.

Enjoy,

I doubt the PHD students at my university could do that in such a short amount of time!

Oh, make no mistake... I think this is a year long project...  There is just that one uber programmer that always amazes me.

Heck, I don't even expect anyone to actually do this.  I was just thinking out loud.

Heh, yipes. And besides, you know how inaccurate those translators are, we'd just be helping to start international wars.
