alwayspaws Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I don't know what PS did for foreign language speakers, but since we have several languages available now, I was trying to encourage someone new and put a comment in one of the language subcategories. I just deleted it. The user saw it and thanked me and that's enough. Apparently, I should stick with English, so it's now up to the other foreign language speakers to offer encouragement to newer users in their own languages. Thanks for your understanding.

marci123 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 I think the main reason for language specific forums should be to encourage users to ask questions in their language if they don't feel comfortable to post in English. Sometimes it is easier to describe a problem in the own language. Answers should be allowed in English too. Otherwise I would avoid the German forum because my main interest is thirtybees and recieving answers and not having a German language circle. You posted a reply to my post and I couldn't read it because it was deleted. Now I am courious what you have posted :-). Do you mind repeating it?

Tomik Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 well i understand that not everyone can talk/read English but still would this not split our "small" community for now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marci123 Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 Yes you are right. I will stick to the English forums but will answer posts in the German forums if I can help. @alwayspaws thanks for your kind reply. Found it in my emails :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lesley Posted August 1, 2017 Share Posted August 1, 2017 @Tomik It could either split it or grow it, I am hoping for the latter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for your work. You are doing a great job. In the german section we luckily have some experienced members as Traumflug, Elezar and Me. Netherland should also be good.

ssimard Posted August 2, 2017 Share Posted August 2, 2017 I think having language specific forums is a great idea for people that does not read/write english. French is my mother language personally but I will stick to english forums since I can. I will however answer french posts if possible. win/win situation Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DaoKakao Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Also, having a Russian section would be nice :) Another one "pro" - in a local language it is possible to discuss particular local issues/local modules, i.e. stuff having just a local meaning Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
