no, cannot, type in japanese, but garbage show on the screen. Do I need to enabled HTML posting?

You may need to, PHP has a nasty way of treating multi-byte characters, so htmlspecialchars() functions used by FUDforum, may cause problems.
To be honest, I have not done any multilingual tests yet, so I'd be grateful if you could share your results with me.

Infact we are very interested in making the forum i18n compliant, and if someone is willing to give us feedback on this we'd consider it, and probobly quite soon. Depending on how much work it requires, if it is not a lot of work it could go in around at 1.1.5 possibly or so, if it's a lot of work it's something we'd leave off for 1.2.0 or so, but then again we never know.

Actually what you need to do is put a metatag such as this
<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=Shift_JIS">
Which will tell the browser which character encoding to use.
This example I believe should allow for Japanese text (I copied this from http://www.honda.co.jp/ ).
I tried and it seems to work just fine.
However, certain character may be misinterpreted by FUDcode parser, which relies or preg_() style functions which may not support multi-byte characters properly.
Try it, if you come across any problems let me know.

what about chinese chars? what encoding to use?

I don't know. You could check on http://www.w3.org or look at the meta tags of a site, which uses Chinese characters.

Another good site to look at for multi-language stuff is the site for Debian GNU/Linux, which has translations for something like 14 or more languages including a couple for Chinese (for Tawanese, HK'ers, and Mainlanders)...
You might be able to get the meta tags from there.

Hello
I'd be interested in a multi-lingual version. Depends mainly on how much of your forum is hard coded and how much is in arrays / initialised at startup. It can be a big task to convert everything.
In any case, I'd love to have a version of the forum in French and could even help out a bit if you needed it.
Simon.

As soon as version 1.2 is released (it is currently in final beta testing stage), we will start on the next version, who's primary feature would be addition of full template support and i18n, which would make multi-lingual.
P.S. All of the forum's developers reside in Ontario, so we are somewhat English biased

If you are going to make it multi-lingual it's proably a good idea to first convert it to template driven... That in itself will be a big jump.

I know, that's the plan...
