Is This Acceptable for translation ?

It stays in English, untill a foreigner visits and then can pick which version he needs to use by clicking on his flag.

I know SMF Forums has to be in English only and it would be.

It would just change per each indivual user who picks the country he needs to use to read & understand.

I have several people from Egypt to India on my site.Just trying to think of ways to help others so they can join us in support on the forum.(I have a medical support forum)

Thanks in advance for an answer yes or no.

I'd assume it's allowed.
However they must still post in english.

Simply put, as long as SMF can read any post/part of your forum in english at a glance without translation it's fine.

So adding that would be "read only".
Did my answer help you? Want to help out hosting costs?

THank you Crasy,
From how I seen it works, you pick on which language you would like to view (read) it in.
I thought this would be best for those who do not read English can pick their language and it be interpetted.
I'll install it today, and have someone check it out.
As I don't want to be in TOS.
I just want to help those that do not read English, as we are a medical support forum.

Are you sure? I started off as SMFFORFREE, then bought the Bronze upgrade (no flashing ads)
I installed it, seems to be OK and within the guidelines...
