Thanks Marc. I'm not alone in it though. Luc G. is the Admin and Moderator of the forum while I'm the Admin of the website.

Congratulations to you and all the Admins and Moderators of your forum too.

Oh, I am terribly remiss in not also congratulating Luc too, I didn't realize Luc that you were the forum Admin/Moderator, so hearty congratulations to you both... it can be a lot of work. AS I write this message, I have another window open to download and install Google Translate on Firefox, so that I can see and read what you guys are up to. :)

Update, the Google Translate plugin for Firefox does not seem to work for Dutch on the VRV Forum, however when I try it using Internet Explorer, the plugin does work and I can read the forum. :D

Update2:  There are 3 separate Google Translate plugins for Firefox, two that translate selected text (gTranslate, and Google Translator for FireFox) and one that will translate whole web pages (gTranslator).  Installing gTranslator plugin, it does work to translate Dutch to English on VRV Forum, the only downside is that one must click a translate button on each page loaded, versus the version of the plugin for Internet Explorer where there's an option to tell it to *always* translate when it detects a certain language.

I share this here in case anyone else wants to peruse the VRV Forum pages; certainly worthwhile, lots of fantastic photos posted, so it's useful to know what is being said.  :D

Mark,

Where do I get this.... I use firefox as well.

In Firefox go to the Tools pulldown menu > Add-Ons > Get Add-Ons > a few add-ons show up in the dialog box...on the right click on Browse All Add-ons > Categories > Language Support > select gTranslator (not gTranslate) and allow it to install. After it installs go to Tools > Add-Ons > Extensions > select gTranslator > Options, and select options about where the gTranslate buttons show up.  See two screen captures below.  And Kris, congratulations to you as well, only just learning who is involved with the young VRV Forum. :D
