This amazing plugin for your #forum will allow you to

  • Expand your audience
  • Improve your SEO (Search engine Optimization)

Now, thanks to this plugin you will be able to create multi-lingual topics to allow foreign members to perfectly understand your topics. Thanks to our client area you can submit unlimited translations that you can use later on your own forum.

The result ? It doesn't matter the language of the member, you can provide a translated version for each topic if you want !  Topics tagged under forumotion on FM Design 1f60a 


How does the Forumotion plugin work?


After the installation of this new plugin (v1.0), on your #forumotion #forum editor you will find a new button Topics tagged under forumotion on FM Design Fa-alias-button that will allow you to include a new dedicated BBcode in your text area.. wow !


In this example, your [alias] BB code article_one in the topic, will be replaced with the related translation in your translations Cloud client area.  Topics tagged under forumotion on FM Design 1f600
