These two hacks could be interesting if you have a dual-language board.
The first hack allows visitors who are not logged in to switch between two languages. It also detects the language depending on the browser settings if no language cookie is found. If a user creates an account, the language he/she is currently using is written in his/her user profile.
The second one allows to define a different categories order depending on the choosen language. If you have for instance a German forum, but also a small English category, you can then define that the English category is displayed last when somebody uses the german language, and that it is displayed first when somebody uses English.
