Multilingual forum

Post by ZanzerTem »

Is there or can there be a forum for non-English literate people? Not that I am complaining at all, but it seemed that there was an "issue" about posts not using proper grammar.

Suggestion: Give them a place to post questions where someone familiar with their native tongue can respond. They would get a quick answer and not have to struggle with the embarrassment of trying to post the "right" way :roll:

Someone stated that their was a spanish forum? so maybe it already exists, so this post is moot. If not, I think that it would be a good addition.

Opinions??

We have set up a spanish forum (also using phpBB 2.0) at
http://www.forobb.es.vg (which in fact redirects to a lycos url ... yea, kinda cheap!) [oh sorry, i said 'kinda']

There are around 8800 post already, and some 223 users there, with at least two online leagues featured.

So, anyone interested, can log there and post in spanish .. even if it's a 14 y/o dislexic boy from Uruguay.

If people don't use proper grammer because English is not their native tongue, it shouldn't result in people moaning about it. The fact that non-english people are posting in English says a lot for their ability to learn other peoples languages, unlike a majority of natural English speakers. But, the idea of a Non-English fourm is a good idea. However, without proper management it could result in some posts that are relevant to everybody being missed because they are not in the right place.

What we would need to do is have a small group of multi-lingual members to moderate and relocate posts to the appropriate area.....with a little translation to help those of us ignorant enough to only speak English, i.e. moi!!!!!!!!!!

Cheers

Grammar! Not grammer.

It ought to be "people don't use grammar correctly"

Bloody English, half of us can't use our own language correctly.

Totally agree 'Dook. Why should I have to type "color" to change the colour of my text. Maybe Johnny should hack the code and correct this terrible error :wink:
