A bug report from @Erik Barros a while ago made me realise the language packs for the forum interface weren't working well, as they had been made for a version of the forum software much older than what we currently have. I have just reinstalled the language packs with up-to-date versions, which should provide a better experience if you ever feel like switching the preferred language in your profile. Below is a before-and-after comparison:

Works fine, now I finally can switch to Hungarian
But there's something to change. As we use 24 hrs time format, is it possible to use it? (Only in language packs perhaps) or replace the uppercase "DÉLELŐTT" with "Délelőtt" and "DÉLUTÁN" with "Délután"

@GTAManRCR Perhaps surprisingly, there doesn't seem to be an option to change the time format in a language pack. You can change it for your user, though, in Profile >> Look and Layout. (Also, if no one objects, I think it might be fine to switch the forum default to a 24-hour format.)

I have always used the 24 hour format.
It the availablity of that dependent on the language?

No, it's independent from that. The language packs have a locale setting which I thought that would affect the default, but apparently it doesn't.

I have also always used 24 hours

I didn't even think about changing it from 12 hrs to 24, but now I did, and use like this
Hejj bicska, bicska, bicska csantavéri kisbicska!

It's so amazing that we can set the time format for ourselves. My setting is this
%Y. %B %d. %H:%M:%S

It'll display as:

O meu fórum está com problema, coloquei em português mas todos os tópicos continuam em inglês. :P  :D 

Duplode

É mesmo! Quando tirei os prints no começo do tópico, fiquei com a sensação que estava faltando alguma coisa, mas não tinha percebido exatamente o que era ;D

Well. Off course. The language option only changes the basic forum functions.
It is not an universal translator. It does nothing with user content.

Not even Hungary -> Magyarország
Or Joe's Friend -> Joe barátja, Otto's Student -> Otto tanítványa...
Hejj bicska, bicska, bicska csantavéri kisbicska!

Eats Stunts -> Stunts-ot eszik

Nope, only the general things that come with the forum are replaced via a translation table.
