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 !?

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 wink

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 wink
