You might think of disabling the "choose language" area if there is only one language installed on the board. Less clutter, the better it is for SEO :D

You can easily hide the drop down from the template by hiding the following towards the foot of the globaltemplate

<form action="{parse url="{$this->settings['query_string_formatted']}" base="public"}" method="post" class='left'>

					<fieldset>

						<input type='hidden' name='k' value='{$this->member->form_hash}' />

						<input type='hidden' name='setlanguage' value='1' />

						<input type="hidden" name="langurlbits" value="{$this->settings['query_string_safe']}&amp;cal_id={$this->request['cal_id']}" />

						<label for='newLang' class='hide'>{$this->lang->words['language_prefix']}</label>

						<select name="langid" id='newLang'>

								{$footer_items['lang_chooser']}

						</select>

						<input type='submit' class='input_submit alt' value='{$this->lang->words['jmp_go']}' id='newLangSubmit' />

					</fieldset>

				</form>

Would be nice to have this as an option, without having to edit the skin.

indeed ...brilliant idea

I did this in one of my skins--it will be hidden unless there's actually more than one option available. I'll go grab the code.

I agree that it should be in IPB by default, though.

				<if test="count(explode('value',$footer_items['lang_chooser'])) > 2">

					<form action="{parse url="{$this->settings['query_string_formatted']}" base="public"}" method="post" class='left'>

						<fieldset>

							<input type='hidden' name='k' value='{$this->member->form_hash}' />

							<input type='hidden' name='setlanguage' value='1' />

							<input type="hidden" name="langurlbits" value="{$this->settings['query_string_safe']}&amp;cal_id={$this->request['cal_id']}" />

							<label for='newLang' class='hide'>{$this->lang->words['language_prefix']}</label>

							<select name="langid" id='newLang'>

									{$footer_items['lang_chooser']}

							</select>

							<input type='submit' class='input_submit alt' value='{$this->lang->words['jmp_go']}' id='newLangSubmit' />

						</fieldset>

					</form>

				</if>

We copied a language by mistake. We can't even delete them, let alone hide them. I'd like to also suggest that there be an option added to ipb which allows us to hide all or some of the languages. Also, the only language that should be protected from deletion is the default language that comes with IPB.

and with Google do we really need native translations? http://translate.google.com/about/intl/en_ALL/tour.html#professional
