I am looking to internatinalize a phpbb forum in many other languages . Should I just add the new lang packs or should I create new forums for each language ? Merry Xmas and happy new year to all DP users
Create a poll in your community and create new sections for the most popular languages, there are so many languages and you can't cover all of them. This will also help your forum avoid the problem of having empty sections due to no users.
Trust me, you cant afford to moderate all the forum when it grows. Target Quality Thread Content instead of Quantity. This is my suggestion. If you entertain your visitors, they will come back, they won't attract by multilingual
