xsivforce Posted September 22, 2002 Share Posted September 22, 2002 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.

xsivforce Posted September 22, 2002 Author Share Posted September 22, 2002 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. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

xsivforce Posted September 22, 2002 Author Share Posted September 22, 2002 BTW: I am learnin' spanish, for the spanish forums.. 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.

Team929 Posted September 24, 2002 Share Posted September 24, 2002 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.
