There is some content in French on the wiki, and from time to time there’s a smattering of German around here. Problem is, whether for good or bad, English is the usual “common language”. If a forum was opened for other languages (which I, personally, would have no problem with), it would reduce the potential readership of that forum. As for Esperanto – it’s perhaps sobering to remember that the top two created languages in the world are Esperanto and Klingon, and those who understand enough to communicate (and not even fluently) when added together and doubled still amount to fewer people than speak Limburgish (and probably most of you needed to Google that ;-) ). Yo no estoy el desacuerdo con otros idiomas en foro. Problema con: el idioma comun es inglés. Usar el otro idioma significa que menos personas participandaro. That was probably awful. My mother spoke fluent Spanish. The bit of my brain that used to know Spanish is now full of French. :-/ |

Of course, you can always cheat… And, given how generally dated the OS is… (note: script blocking and/or no scripting at all may mess up the translation) |

possibly, running something like google translate on forum with mixed language can be problem if no way to mark the language. having at least one other domain could prove support the idea. maybe not best though. which i thought already existed. |

bq mogelijk kan het draaien van zoiets als google translate Ik krijg altijd de kriebels van Google dingen en andere zaken die niet onder Europese privacy reegelgeving vallen en mijdt die als de pest. Mogelijk ten onrechte of te paranoia, maar beter dat dan later spijt. |
