Combined forum with 2/3 languages [Risolto]

I would like to suggest the possibility to combine the forum-messages according to the languages you can cope in. Already before I only rarely ventured in the French fora, but now we also have Spanish.

If I could get the messages from all 3 fora in one page it would be much easier to react to messages in one of the other languages. Every member would be able to choose the languages he would like to follow. I feel that otherwise I'd be missing out on a lot (checking 16 sections is already a lot, let alone 48!). 

Maybe easier would even be to have one forum where the OP has to mark his language, which means that other languages can be incorporated, but if someone only posts in Russian without a translation I would not be obliged to read that post …

I do agree,

but why then bother to split into different languages?

For threads titles, I suppose? I agree it is not much. One idea could be a personal setting, allowing users to chose if they want or not to see all threads mixed

Ne pas mélanger les langues : il existe deux copies traduites du site américain, attendons les suivantes

Do not mix languages: there are two translated copies of the American site, let's wait for the next ones

Hello,

I introduced a new option to combine the multiple versions of the forums in the different languages.

In your account settings, select the languages you would like to see:

The forum will include the messages in the different languages you chose.

Thanks for the addition. Works great!

Still a small bug with counter as i only see the number of unread English messages. It doesn't add the other languages …

Yes, in Spanish too.

When you combine languages, how does Numista know in which language forum a new thread  goes? Is there a setting or a pop-up?

New threads get posted in the forum with the same language as your currently selected website language. If you post from the English website, it will go to the English forum. Same for French and Spanish.

This can be a problem…  I explain:

I have interface in Spanish, and merge forum in English and Spanish. All my new topics go to the forum in Spanish. Right?

According to this, if I write a new topic (not a message reply) in English (in my mind with scope the forum in English, in order to can be read for users with access to forum in English; example: I post something related to all Numista community, a suggestion for Numista or a bug… not related to just the Spanish side), will go to forum in Spanish.

Of course, I can change my interface to English when I want write in the English forum, but I want see my interface in Spanish always.

Can be do this?:

• Add a new field “Default forum where publish new topics”  in user settings? For example, I want the interface in Spanish always but I prefer publish, almost always, in the English forum.
• Add in new post a select box (or radio button) “Publish in the forum in”. The options will the selected languages in field “Merge forums: include messages in”, and the default option will be the selected in “Default forum where publish new topics”. This can be hidden in users with only one language in “Merge forums: include messages in”.

Then, when a I create a new topic, the system ask for the subject, the body of the message, and the forum language destination (I can keep the default option, or select other language).

Bug: the count of

• Suggestions for Numista
• Bug reports
• Request about…

is of the interface language, not the sum of the languages selected in the forum.

Is it possible to add translation of the title of the posts?

Just want to mention how much I've enjoyed this option the last few weeks. Great way to keep up with posts on the French and Spanish side … FOMO* has left the building 😅
