RE: Add the ability to create a multi-language discussion forum

Liferay allows you to create a discussion forum on a portal, but it does not provide the possibility of having the texts translated into different languages. It would be about having this possibility, as allowed, for example, in a form.

Thank you.

Best regards.

Hi Mikel, about this request, I'd like to understand it a little bit more. When you say "having the texts translated into different languages", you're referring to the labels, UI, category names? or to allow users to create a thread/answer a thread in several languages at the same time.

What usually, the users of message boards do when they need to support users from multiple languages, is create different sections (categories), one per language, so users know where they'll find the answers in their language.

Hi! Exactly, I am referring to the labels, descriptions of the categories and all the texts that make up the forum, text other than users messages.
I know that normally it is done as you say, but, in this case, the idea in the forum that we have created is that all citizens, writing in the language they write, can participate in the same thread.
We have the forum on a multi-lenguage portal, however when you change the language the texts that make up the forum do not change and strange behavior occurs ;-)

Best regards.

Ok, I'll add that information to take it into acount while analyzing the Feature request.
