Why isn't the translation linked? So users can download it from this site?

[Lumina]

What I believe...

It is like this so people can :
- read copyrights notices.
- read a description of the team.
- read more informations about what can't be translated.
- add the site to their favorites for future upgrades.

But I'll ask Sophocle, and maybee we will see. After this presentation I might be able to translate the copyrights too.

[Floris]

Ah I understand, yeah. Good idea to have it linked remotely, do I need to be a member of your web site before I can download it ?

[Sophocle]

[...] do I need to be a member of your web site before I can download it ?

The translation downloading is not completely free. The members must accept a license agreement in order to download french style. It's the reason why everybody can see the translation thread but only logged in users can download files.

Currently, we haven't translated our license agreement and I prefer submiting this agreement to french laws for copyright protection (english author protection is different from french author protection).
We also want a visit from the people who profit from our work
We try to solve french community troubles with vbulletin and it's easier for french people to ask questions in a french forum.
Last argument : we want to control how and where the file can be downloaded, to protect Jelsoft rights and our rights too. The less copies of the file are available, the best control we have.

I would like to tell something about the warez. vbulletin-fr doesn't support piracy. We try to eliminate all "warez" hacks (hide IP...) and to ban and report users who show an illegal version of vbulletin. We would be very pleased to control customer ids but there is no good technical solution available. Our forum is open but we have active moderators. We've been working hard for 6 months to stop "warez" and would be happy to have a good verification tool.
