    Multiple Languages

    What are the limitations with using multiple languages on one forum?
    For example, right now we are doing English, French and German, and everything is working fine (just running as subforums). For example, would Chinese or Arabic be a problem? Which languages will run easily as subforums when the primary language is English?

    I haven't seen any special problems with multiple languages.

    As for the second question, the language is forum-wide and cannot be specified by forum or subforum.

      in Arabic you will face the RTL problem since Arabic is from Right-To-Left and other languages are from Left-To-Right LTR

      i'm not sure if its possible to have multiple directions into single template though

        The text direction is set in the Language Settings, thus I don't think that would cause a problem.

          in the language.xml file?

            If you export the language, yes, but it's also editable in the Language Settings in the AdminCP.
