請注意：我們從IP.Board 3.3.0開始,將會另外開一個來販賣IPB 3.3.x的語言包。

Note: IPS Marketplace increases the file size of single file. We decided to change the method:

注意：IPS Marketplace 增加單檔的檔案大小。我們決定改變方法：

(1) The "language.xml.gz" has only the front-end (public areas) of Chinese language.

(1) "language.xml.gz" 只有中文的前台。

(2) The "files in cache directory" that contains the front-end (public areas) and AdminCP (admin areas) of Chinese language.

(2) 在 cache 目錄裡的檔案，包含前台及後台的中文。

若有疑問,可寫中文來發問

Import method of the Chinese language pack, please choose one

(1) Import "language.xml.gz"

Modified your server "php.ini" Memory Limit 128M or better recommended


(2) Upload /cache/ directory all files to /translate/ directory

For example,import Chinese Traditional (CHT)

ACP -> Look & Feel -> Manage Languages -> English (USA) -> Copy language pack... -> get "English (USA) (COPY)"

select "English (USA) (COPY)" -> Edit... ->
Language Title -> English (USA) (COPY) -> 繁體中文
Language Locale -> en-US -> zh-TW
-> Save Changes

Use FTP to create /translate/ directory in your IPB root directory.

Go to ACP -> Look & Feel -> Manage Languages -> 繁體中文 -> Translate Externally... -> then stop here!

Use FTP go to "/your ipb directory/translate/", delete "/translate/" directory all files, and upload /cache/ directory all files to /translate/ directory.

At last, back to ACP of the page(External File Translation), press [F5] -> click [Select All] -> click [Import Selected Files] -> wait a few seconds,and you will see some message.

Click [recache this set] -> Recache complete -> click [here to go there now.] ->
You can edit the files in the 'translate' directory. Once you have translated the file you can import these changes directly into the database.
Before editing, please set your text editor to save files as UTF-8 regardless of the character set your board uses.

Click [x Finish And Remove] -> Translation Session Removed -> Finish!!

Note:If you don't do according to the above steps, you will find it is still English interface, it means you are in the wrong steps here (delete "/translate/" directory all files, and upload /cache/ directory all files to /translate/ directory,and press [F5]).


PS. If you want to import Chinese Simplified (CHS),please modify the above steps,for example:
Language Title -> English (USA) (COPY) -> 简体中文
Language Locale -> en-US -> zh-CN

論壇頂部的標籤,如果從ACP那邊把標籤改為中文字後,就會固定為中文字,不會因為切換語言而變動.

All I get when I click on Translate Externally is an error message:

An error occured with the SQL server:

mySQL query error: INSERT INTO ibf_cache_store (`cs_key`,`cs_value`,`cs_array`,`cs_updated`) VALUES('translate_session','a:8:{s:7:"lang_id";s:1:"5";s:10: "lang_short";s:5:"zh-CN";s:10:"lang_title";s:32:"简体中文";s:18: "lang_currency_name";s:0:"";s:12:"lang_default";s:1:"0";s:10:"lang_isrtl";s:1:"0";s:14:"lang_protected";s:1:"0";s:5:"files";a:115:{s:11:"acp.lang.js";a:2:{s:5:"mtime";i:1329390417;s:6:"dbtime";i:1329390417; ETC., ETC., ETC...

It needs charset as UTF-8,not iso-8859-1

<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=UTF-8" />

Backup your database first,it maybe affects your forums.

If you want to install multi-language pack,you must be changed to UTF-8.

ACP -> System -> System Settings -> System -> Server Environment -> Document character set -> UTF-8
