The Thai language file is only about 15% complete (as it says on the download page). We lost our previous translator and really do need a new one.Are you sure that this is not the problem as most (85%) WILL be in English.

have you added the language enabling string into your wp-config.php?

To translate, download the lanaguage package from the translations page… you will get a .po file… fix it up… use free poedit tool and create the mo… send them to us… thanks!

yes that is correct. If you have a WP MO file that only uses 'th' then rename the forum mo file to 'sforum-th.mo' and set the config to just 'th'.
This is all you need to do and it should work OK

i have this :

/**

* WordPress Localized Language, defaults to English.

*

* Change this to localize WordPress. A corresponding MO file for the chosen

* language must be installed to wp-content/languages. For example, install

* de.mo to wp-content/languages and set WPLANG to 'de' to enable German

* language support.

*/

define ('WPLANG', 'th_TH');

I tried define ('WPLANG', 'th');

but it dont work …. :(

Ok ok .. I find the trick !

You have to modified your Thai Language package … Inside you have :

sforum-th_TH.mo

sforum-th_TH.po

thailand.png

you must rename them :

sforum-th.mo

sforum-th.po

thailand.png

and input this in wp-config.php :

define ('WPLANG', 'th');

and it works ! :-)

Hi,

I had the same problem, but I fugured out that I need to have wordpress in the same language as the forum.

I did not change filnames, only changed WP languages and everything was fine. Sad to say though, because I prefer to have WP admin in english. But wth, it works now anyway. Smile
