Non English Langauges Here!

All off topic discussions go here. Everything from the funny thing your cat did to your favorite tv shows. Non-programming computer questions are ok too.

Do you really think this is a good idea? You're reconstructing the tower of Babel all over again.

Fine, then do what EVERY OTHER company does, and provide whatever you say in multiple languages. This is a predominately english-language website. Therefore in order to make it fair to the rest of the members, you can have your language to write on here with, but share the words.

lol.

Pype.Clicker used to do that on his blog... he put everything in both French and English. I respected him a lot for that.

We're the ones constructing the tower by encouraging the use of English.

From Wikipedia: "a tower built to reach the heavens by a united humanity, all speaking a single language."

inflater is taking the role of god: "God saw that humans would be able to do whatever they set their minds to, so he confused their unified language and scattered them."

No, my point was to help users (preferably Slavic) with minimal knowledge of English/German languages as stated in my text. :)

If we would remove these replies, we could e.g. create some sub-forum for outlanders or such, for example Candy or Combuster could communicate between French or Dutch users or I between e.g. Poles etc.

I know, that wouldn't be much useful, but it sounds interesting. :P Any opinions?

It's not like we have a bunch of non-english speaking/reading members. How would they have found this place if they didn't know english well enough to google for it in english and/or find the name osdev.org?

I think if you create another forum entry for 'non-english languages', you will see less production in the rest of the forums becuase some will reside there.
