I have an questions that i dont sure is it correct or it is'nt correct, and i wold like download www.linuxquestions.org and translated it to my local languge then register it as new domain
But i dont have any right and Mr. jeremy must give it(right) to me.

many thanks a lot

so you want to create a new site?

You are going to download everything that happens here and translate????? (You + who's army?---Sounds like a monumental task)

Is there something on this in the forum rules?
EDIT: I just checked and found nothing---ethically you should give credit, however.

Moved: This thread is more suitable in Website Questions and Suggestions and has been moved accordingly to help your thread/question get the exposure it deserves.

I believe that LQ comes under Creative Commons, so you had better provide a credit. There are also around 2 million posts here, do you really have so much free time. Finally, you can't download LQ.

As XavierP noted, wholesale downloading of the 2,000,000++ posts is prohibited. The wiki does fall under the creative commons (as do some other parts of the site), but the forums do not.

Hi
I dont want translate LQ posts(2,000,000),but i want translate all code site with empty any Database(or any database on mysql) that when my users posts,it full little by little,is it possible???

Really want source code site + empty database ???

matarodi- is what you are asking is to have your own forum that has the LQ backend?
so it works like LQ but is your own forum?

Technically, jeremy and the team have hacked vbulletin (which is the forum software that is used as the base and is a popular forum software) so that it would be pretty hard to maintain if you don't know it. It also might have issues with different hosting platforms.

Ethically, wow. I think you might just be asking for the forum technology - that would be vbulletin. But if you are asking for the hacked code/templates... I don't think that would be fair. Of course it's up to jeremy to decide.

you could also do this:

Ask LQ if they want you to translate the site. Then LQ could have an option for a different defalt language.

dude- pengu- this is a mammoth task, and with the forum being constantly updated, translation just isn't viable. Sure there are translation tools (shoddy in my opinion), the best way to do it would be with human translators, but this takes forever.

At this point, translating the forums isn't something we plan on implementing.

Exactly. So why not just contibute to existing forums in other languages?
Spanish - http://www.linuxespanol.com/
French - http://linuxfr.org/forums/
German - http://www.linuxforen.de/forums/index.php
and there are a lot more, just look for them.

just suggesting a more ethical approch...
I dont think he wanted to translate the FORUMS, i think he just wanted to translate the interface- and get rid of all the posts. That would be hard, but not impossable.

ah. Sorry pengu, I thought that you meant a translation of the entire LQ.

It would be weird to have a, French? (or whatever) interface, and then have all the posts in English though.

the solution for anyone wanting and LQ-like forum is to get VBulletin.

I would like know it

Do you have vBulletin installed? That's your first step.
