This hack is intended to let the user select his own language on the fly. Although the XOOPS engine allows for selecting a default language, it doesn't allow for selecting the language "on the fly". This hack consists of a block which displays a list of flags, or a drop down combo (depending on the settings) with the current available languages. When a user selects a language, the information is stored in a cookie, for the current domain.
NOTE: The language changing is only for the interface! This means the information in the database (news/forums/etc..) will still be displayed in the language that the author used!
