after translation you have:

http://www.newsoftworld.com/forum/f11/_-aaa-congratulations-bara-nawab-100-posts-aaa-_-aaa-5646/?language=pl

this is not ok:

?language=pl

So go to admincp->vBET-> Main and make a good configuration.

set Translation links type to Create URL's according to SEO link consensus (i.e. '/en/address')

and

set link type to VBSEO_URI

[kamilkurczak]

ahh you are using a free version.
please search your vbet menu here
Configure in AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> vB Enterprise Translator

sorry for that

ok here you have a configuration instruction:
http://www.vbulletin.org/forum/showthread.php?t=232456

5. Configure in AdminCP -> vBulletin Options -> vBulletin Options -> vB Enterprise Translator
You MUST configure at least Forum language option. NOTE that there are some other important options - especially if your forum is in subdirectory or if you use vbSEO.

sir when i move my .htaccess file from root directory to forum folder so my forum is not properly working coz i am using the vbseo rule and sitting under the below thread :

http://www.vbseo.com/f5/vbseo-3-5-re...tml#post254125

in this thread i used the /forums (or another folder name) vb4 install rule and sitting so this is the reason i am placed my .htaccess file in root directory.
