Multilingual

Can I run the Australian board? :-P

[cKleinhuis]

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 ....

[Xenodimensional]

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

[cKleinhuis]

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?

[cKleinhuis]

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

[Vega]

I want to be the moderator of Russian forum.

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.

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

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

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

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 !?

 

its good idea
