Foreign Languages

hey guys, just a recomendation, i think its a good idea, have forums in other languages, i see a lot of people, that their language is not English

bye!! =D

That's an interesting point Mauriciog87 Are there any other users that would be interested in a foreign language section of Windows 7 Forums?

Does l337 count as a language?

Lets all communicate in binary - LOL

What would be the purpose of the language section?

1 - Would this prove confusing to have issues posted in different languages?
2 - Would this section be to discus the different languages?

The way I imagined it would be to have a single foreign language W7 section with Sub-forums for a few major languages - but I'd only implement it if there was a large need for it as I'm guessing there will be some other W7 forums in French/German/etc...

You would have to have it moderated by someone that could speak that language or at least have an idea of what the posts contain. Otherwise, who knows what is being discussed!

Yep, that's a good point!

There doesn't look like there's a huge need for this at the moment as no-one replied, but if we get lots of people searching for W7 forums in a different language I can look in to setting it up in the future

Hey guys!

Great idea but totally agree with having a moderator. My dad is over my house and bought a new notebook with win 7 home premium installed last Sunday. Since he's so used to windows xp, I foresee big problem for myself (he will call me almost every week to help him). Having a forum in (Brazilian) Portuguese would be a dream come true for me. I wish I could have the time to be the moderator of the first Brazilian forum. Just out of curiosity: how much time is needed to be one?

Thanks Tropics, I'll keep that in mind if we do add foreign language forums

There's no set amount of time required to be a moderator, but regular access helps. It may only take a few mins a day to keep things running smoothly, it just depends how busy things get.

Trouble with different languages is that only people who spoke those languages would be able to interact!
My guess is that most queries would go unanswered.
