As long as you have the French locale installed and working, the user's browser setting should be enough for SM to show the correct translation even when the user is not logged in. When the user IS logged in, any message will be shown in their language of choice (as long as your server supoprts it). > The messages themselves seem to be hard coded in the templates. So I guess you didn't read the links I bothered to look up for you. They are "hard coded", but ALL strings in SM are wrapped in a translation syntax. There is -40% to 0% chance that strings will ever be changed to include more than one language in one string. If you feel like you need to do this, GO READ the links I sent you and create your own translation set that includes translations into "bilingual" format. > >> less than elegant way to deal of with the problem.
