Welcome to Fractal Forums

hi there, recently joined members showed the problem that this forum is english, and the idea occured to include
native language section in a sub-board, the idea would be to have an trustful moderator for each language, i just
can watch over the german section, i know we have spanish and french natives hanging around here, and perhaps
we could start with a "spanish, french, german" subsection as a starter ... what do you think, and who would like
to become a moderator of such sub-boards !?

 :police:

Excellent idea if you can get the moderators - unfortunately the only other language I ever learned was French, I only did "O" level (at 16) and have never used it since !

Edit: Just one extra thing that the alternate language moderators should watch for and stop is back-biting etc. at other members who do not understand the language used !!
This is something that *some* Welsh are known to do - e.g. in a Welsh area in a shop/pub etc. the (Welsh) folks are speaking in English, an English person comes in and as soon as they realise the person is English they switch to speaking in Welsh (which is rude in itself) but they also often comment on the newcomer - I know this happens as it has happened to English people I know who understood Welsh !!

Edit: Ooops - I forgot I do know some Latin, but I guess that's not much help either ;)

I volunteer to moderate the French board :)

ok, i opened up an "international" section, as a starter there is "german, french, spanish" for spanish we do not have a moderator yet, so it is closed
if anyone would like to host another language ( @kali: italian ? ) please let me know....
 :police:

Kali italian? :) maybe you thought about Darkbeam?!

Some of my ancestors were from Italy, but Luca is the italian boy :)
I'm Argentinian so I can moderate the spanish board, no problem!

BTW, very good idea ;)

Italian, meeee!!! ;D ;D ;D

ok darkbeam, i add you to moderator crew, please keep an eye on the italian seciton, me not can speak

Also heavenriver can speak italian, and she is a very affordable person in case I am busy ... :)

she should say so herself!

I have sent her a message in deviantart. Hope that she feels okay, in this period she seems a bit tired or so. :(

can you write a short sentence to describe the board in the native language ?
like i did for german

I have to say that Google Translate (to English) works somewhat better with the Spanish and Italian than it does with the German - the German translation is bordering on gibberish !
Or maybe you're just naturally more colloquial Christian ;)

ehrm, i will rework it :D

Ah, I didn't find the button to modify the sentence ;D
"Sezione del forum per parlare in italiano... di frattali!"
Hopefully it's okay :)

Can I run the Australian board? :-P

hmm, it is "called" international, but what is really mean is "languages" and not "countries" ....
perhaps we can think about making true regional boards, but that would be tooo many ... in my opinion ....

haha, I know I know, I was only pulling your leg  :evil1:

added as well an russian section, who wants to be moderator ?!
what other languages should we add ?!

Why I can't create a topic at Russian forum? :sad1:

because it is read only, until a ,moderator is found

I want to be the moderator of Russian forum. 

Way to go Vega. Can you do Balkan languages also? Then we can tap into the ceaseless philosophising that goes on in that whole region.

HUM la meme chose avec nos amis bretons en bretagne bien sur

Hum! the same thing with our friends in Brittany, Brittany course
