For those of you trying to translate AF using standard DNN translation and localization you need to know that there certain pages/controls that do use the DNN translation tokens. Specificially, there are two of three drop down boxes/selections used in AF search. Both the "Search Area" and "Criteria Options" dropdowns do not use/reference the translation tokens. In order to translate these, you need to edit the control af_search.ascx and change the english to whatever language you need. Because of this method of translation, you will have to choose one language to have the drop down menu in. The third drop down.."Search Topics From", does use tokens. This is very inconsistant and I'm not sure why it was done this way, but after hours of searching..this is a workaround to the issue. Hopefully this will be changed in a future version.

If you make a manual change to that template, it might get overwritten when you upgrade to a new version. This will likely be resolved in a future version.

It seems a real pity to me that this wouldn't be corrected immediately. With all the effort goes into a translation, a simple issue like this renders the translation and product useless for any commercial multilingual use of Active Social/Active Forums.
