Help Translate The Site Into Geordie

[Andy Millne]

I've added a new Geordie language to the forums for a bit of fun.

If anybody has any suggestions on things to change post them here and we'll make sure they're not lost to history.

Basically anything that isn't user contributed can be translated so error messages, button text, headings and labels etc. are all fair game.

To change to geordie use the drop down menu at the bottom of the page.

I have clicked the box changed it to Geordie but I do not understand the next step, sorry for being thick but can you explain it for me?

[Andy Millne]

Just whenever you see a phrase around the forums like "add reply", "start a new topic" etc. that you think would have a good geordie equivalent just post it in this thread.

[Mr Darn]

Already changed is the confirmation screen after you post a reply.geordie edit.bmp

If you mean "how do you change to Geordie, its mentioned in the first post:

To change to geordie use the drop down menu at the bottom of the page.

Right at the bottom, theres 2 drop-down lists:

Default Skin and the language options

Change the language one to Geordie.
