Hi everyone,

I'd like to share a modified version of the General Blogs.ini engine that supports blog comment targets in English, German, French, and Spanish. The goal was to make a single engine file that works across multiple language markets without needing separate setups for each language.

What's included:

  • Footprints & search terms for comment forms in all four languages

    • EN: "Leave a Reply", "Speak Your Mind", "Add a comment", etc.

    • DE: "Kommentar hinterlassen", "Schreibe einen Kommentar", "Einen Kommentar hinterlassen", etc.

    • FR: "Laisser un commentaire", "Écrire un commentaire", "Ajouter un commentaire", etc.

    • ES: "Dejar un comentario", "Escribe un comentario", "Añadir comentario", etc.

  • Submit success / failed / captcha failed messages translated for all four languages (WordPress, Joomla, Drupal, etc.)

  • HTML/BBCode format detection adapted for each language ("You can use these tags", "Du kannst folgende HTML-Tags verwenden", "Vous pouvez utiliser ces balises", "Puedes usar estas etiquetas")

  • Form name detection extended with language-specific submit button labels

  • All original English entries preserved — the other languages are appended with | so GSA SER treats them as OR-conditions

What's NOT included:

  • Technical form variable names (add fixed data, form id, etc.) remain unchanged, as they are bound to HTML field names and are not language-dependent.

  • Captcha-solving logic is unchanged.

Installation:

  1. Backup your current General Blogs.ini from GSA Search Engine Ranker\Engines\

  2. Rename the file to General Blogs MultiLang.ini

  3. Replace it with the merged file

  4. Restart GSA SER and select the engine as usual

Notes:

  • The file is a "multi-language base." If you notice false positives in a specific language, you can remove entries or split them into separate language-specific files.

  • Du/Sie distinction is covered for German ("Deine E-Mail-Adresse..." and "Ihre E-Mail-Adresse...").

  • French and Spanish typically use the same formality level as the CMS default, so both tu/vous-style variants are included where common.

Feedback welcome — if you find missing footprints or want to add another language, feel free to reply.
