There is no way to do it. Each registered user can pick a language of choice via their profile, but anonymous users have their theme picked by the admin.

Hmm.. but that kind of sucks for people who don't speak one language or another. For integrating FUD into multilanguage websites (i.e. the type that say "click here to swtich to english/french") it would be sweet to be able to link to something like /forum/index.php?theme=default or /forum/index.php?theme=default-french
Any idea how I could get that going? I think I may also be able to do it with two separate instances of FUD, but that would be a bit unwieldy for upgrades etc.
Thanks for the fast response -
Cheers,

Could anyone help me with this? I am not able to do the coding unfortunately.. seems to me this should be useful functionality anyway, since if you want to work with people that speak multiple languages you can't have a registration page in only (say) english or french. A link at the top to switch from english to french would be really useful. Any help is appreciated.
Best,
Tobias

Actually, I've failed to see your problem 
FUDforum is a FORUM script. People are visiting FORUM in order to DISCUSS something or just to read what other people are discussing. Thus either these people HAVE TO understand ALL languages used in mixed discussion, or you have to have SEPARATE forums for different languages.
You can't just SWITCH - e.g. if I can't read english and just "pushing" button "French", it makes no good to me - all messages STILL in english!

Well, I see the problem, even if it's a bit much to ask for:
I'm involved in a large news website with two distinct reader groups; local readers (about 2 million pr. month) and international readers, who visit our english section to read our local news in English.
I'd really like to implement FUD, but I'd also like to try and solve the problem mentioned. We need two forums - one in Norwegian for Scandinavians, and one for our English readers. The possibility of somehow integrating these two would save a lot of troubles, since the mods would be the same for both. Also, the local readers would be able to discuss both in the local- and the english-speaking section using the same logon. And of course, one database instead of two makes things easier.
So one possibility might be to toggle the language for each group? And/or have two register-pages - one in Norwegian and one in English - so we can choose where to send users based on what URL they some from?

1) You can install as many forum as you like within the same database.
2) You could install 2 forums and modify the 2nd to use the user database of the first. Then have one forum be in English and the 2nd in Norwegian.
3) You could add a hack to allow a drop down to change languages, but you'd still have the problem I've mentioned in my earlier reply.
