i dont know how to format it as the english version shown about, also i want to change all of the english texts to
chinese in that form, i can't find from where even download the Guestbook folder to local still can't find them from
the php scripts, i guess thare are in somewhere in database, anyone one can help me for this? blow is the chinese
Guestbook i want to change

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
to formatting the module Guestbook:
Admin->Layout->Stylesheets then find the module you installed(Guestbook in this case)
on the rightside click the css icon then attach it to a template.

Have you set the lang= parameter in the guestbook tag?... reading the Help in modules is always a good idea...

thanks mark,i found the language pack even chinese not supported but i think i can handle this by replacing
the english with chinese!
but the formatting/styling still a problem for me,i have read through the Help page but have no a clue how to do it,
i think i have to attach a css to the Guestbook template and the css might be saved in the database,maybe i
will try to copy and paste the css with the working one from the database manager phpMyAdmin,
cause i have 2 the same system installed one is english another is for chinese, if no any better solution im
gonna try to compare everything the template,the css the scripts and the databases and make them the same:-)
just want to get rid of all the hassles and see if there a very easy solution or im too stupid ::)

and the chinese Guestbook worked fine(i haven't changed all the texts yet),but once i edited the en_US.php
page i have to save it as UTF-8 encoded,this is the link:

after the formatting problem solved or eventually i have to find a way how to fix this i will mark this thread solved,thank all.

I hope you did get this solved, to style the guestbook or any other module you need to add CSS to an existing style sheet that is attached to the page template, no way to attach them to a module template, or creat a new style sheet and attach it to the page template, as in the template that the page uses...

If you have a hard time finding the code to call the best idea is to open the page, view in browser, then look at the source code, and find the part you need, some kind of ID or class call in the code for inputs or text areas and call them in your style sheet...
