The new Foreign Communities section looks like a good idea. We have had several non-english speaking members on our forum and it is sometimes difficult to understand questions or convey answers to the member. Once a foreign member notices the section, they will probably invite friends to join.

One concern of which I am sure you are already discussing. You will need Moderators who understand each language well enough to pick out threads or posts which may go against forum rules such as warez or porn, etc.

Just a thought.

yup... id best go do a crach course in mandarin!

lets see how it goes

If the section takes off and you have any trouble with finding people with specific language abilities to moderate let me know.

I do know several trusted individuals who speak different languages and are somewhat knowledgeable with computers. I am not speaking for them to say they would be interested, but I can ask if you need the help.

cheers xsiv

I was born and raised in West Texas. Spanish was just something you picked up as you grew up. The population of my home town was a little over 100,000. I would say that around 40,000 or so spoke Spanish.

What about forums for people from eastern europe?

Hmmm, I'm actually dutch and I live in Florida for about 2years now so if ya need a mod that can speak both english and dutch well, ask me.

good idea... since I don't really check online anymore.. anything pops up in greek/arabic . let me know..

What about forums for people from eastern europe?

Good question.

We will make one, but how we will call it?

How bout:

Russians?

I think its a great idea for all the different communities in the world but one thing is still bugging me.. I'm in Japan now and my comp is set up with the jpn version of XP and I found this site IN english.. Meaning, won't peeps have a difficult time going around this site if its not their language?

I only say this cauz I ran into this site a few days back when I had probs with my computer and I told one of my jpn friends about this site(which I think is pretty dope) without thinking about his english ability and I got a message from him that night saying "stfu! It's in English!!!" (roughly translated ) Or have I missed a link somewhere for the different languages?

But anyway, props to whomever thought of it.

team, why not teach your friend English? hehe

Gone are the days of me teaching English. I actually did for about a year in Japan(and yea I be teachin them reel lesons) and as is with any teaching/training job, I try to avoid it like the plague. Whats "else"? Whats my password?? AGH!!!!!
