How about some forums for some Languages?
I hope topic says it...
I would like it if there would be some forums where people could talk to their own country fellas in their own language! For example one for the French, German, Italian, Spanish, etc. You could make an "above board" where people could suggest new lang forums and the sub forums in that board. How do you think about this? |
You could easily just start a club or possibly a thread in funtime, I would think.
|
I dont think we need an entire forum...we could just have like a Spanish, German, French, etc Chat Thread.
|
Like I said, a club for that language would sound like a nice idea.
|
I think it is a good idea...Even though my english is better then my german which I have no idea why.
|
It is a good idea for people interacting using different languages, yes, but we don't need an entire forum for it.
|
Well, there is this one forum I saw...I think it's called the IFForums or something along those lines. XD And when you link to the site, you get a choice of three languages or so that the board will be displayed in. ^^
I have no idea how the admin there did that, so I'm of no help in that department. XD I do think Ryan's idea for making a club is a good idea, though. ^o^ ~Kelsey |
Well, there use to be a few threads for different languages. Like a German and a Spanish one, I guess you could start one again if you wanted to, but I don't think we'd need a whole forum.

A section for each language would be a little extreme as, although we have users from many different countries, there are a relatively small number who speak the given language of that forum, so they wouldn't really be active enough to have their own version of OC ^^;
Feel free to start your own thread in OC, or in the Other Clubs section of Mixed Community Groups, for speakers of your native language ^^ |
And besides, if you alow one forum for say German, people will want another for Ffrench, another for Spanish and so on so forth and it will get a little too out of hand. But perhaps a sub forum in say Other chat, may be a good idea, where you can make a single thread for every day other language chat. We have the other chat forum, so I would see no problem in a small sub forum for other languages ^_^

Language forum.
Having a whole forum would be to much.But a thred similar to DCC might work.As for the forum, I don't see it becoming a reality anytime soon.

you should use this link:

We would have to find good mods for each secion though.....
But Ill tell you guys this; If you can find 10 members who speak the same language(IE; 10 spanish speakers, 10 french speakers) and want to have there own special forum for it, I will SERIOUSLY consider it :) |

How about we have a forum for n00b-ish? XD j/k
Well, I only speak English and French, so I dunno. I prefer speaking english, XD |
I know a couple languages, and I usually only do use English because it's the most widely used one. I really think that a thread would be enough for each language, but I guess we'll see what people think about Casey's idea.

Well I look at it this way. PC is an English speaking forum. I really don't see much need for more forums just for other languages.
Like said we would have to find Mods for them forums. And the Admins really do have the right to know what's going on in all forums. Like I only speak English, if a Spanish forum was made I couldn't tell the difference in some one talking about how their day was or bashing and flaming PC. Like ProBoards you have to make them forums in English or they will shut your forum down (or at least that's how it used to be). Because if they don't know the language then they don't know what's going on (and they shut the forum down). I guess I'm ok with threads, but I'm still ify about them (same like forums, but I think a thread or club is better then making a whole forum). |
I think that a whole forum may be too much. xD; I mean, with all the languages in the world, and like Andrea-chan said, PC is an English forum. But if there is a major minority that speaks one specific foreign language, it may work, but I doubt it. xD;;
Not that it isn't a good idea though. o.o; |
I know there are a lot of Spanish speakers though.
|
I know I'm late but anyway Why don't we have a single sub-forum to OC called "Languagues Galore" where people can open threads, each thread to speak in(about) a different language. All language threads can be allowed there.

Well if a Forum or Sub-Forum was made then I think it might expand. I mean lets say someone that only speaks Spanish joined, what will happen if that member goes to make a club, or ask about Pokemon games, or starts a poll and other things? That member is really just stuck in one forum.
I know there might be a good many members that knows Spanish . But how many knows German? Or Japanese? Or Portuguese andso on? I think PC should just stay with English (if you want to start a thread or a club then you can, we have members that speak l33t with a thread so nothing wrong with members that speaks Spanish or Japanese and so on). Everyone on the same language. |

Excuse me are there Keyboards in other languages, I'm a bit ignorant about this.(Edit :: There are, I just found out). Most of the Computer users do know English other than their own language. So, they must find out which English letter co-relates and prounounces like the spanish word. Do you get what I say. And anyway why would a user who knows only spanish join an English majority forum and how will he know how to register and which fields mean what? ~ CC |
There are those who join with very little english language skills (you can normally tell by the way they write), and probably would like to speak in their home language, but clubs would be enough for an english-speaking forum ^^
|
No, the last thing pc needs is to hire more admins that have to speak that language. Let alone make a board and moderate it. Whats the point?, most people in other lauguages don't come here.
~Aaron~ |
I think this is a good idea.. PC should be a forum that gives people that even speak another language (such as Spanish only) a sense of welcoming, and not only to English members, so they can feel they belong as well! ~origin
|
Maybe a few sub-forums, or maybe a few language stickies in funtime or other chat.
|
Yeah,
P.C has had problems with bandwidth lately, and the last thing they need is more forms/catagorys, or subfourms. Sticky is a great Idea though! ~Aaron~ |
If people really wish to meet other people who speak their own language, im surprised they haven't already created a club ^^; we've had an england, american, and australian club, but rarely any other countries.
For now, foreign language speaker should just create a club. If the clubs really become that popular that it seriously need more space then we would give more space. It's pointless creating a sub before we even know how active it will be ^^; Also, it would be dificult to mod a sub since we can't keep track of what everyone's saying ^^; For now, just clubs in MCG would be good ^^ |
