Well, not all people can understand English so well, so can several more languages be installed to this board other than English?
(I'm not one of these people btw.)

Well, maybe they would know some, but if they understanded another language much better, than it would be conveniant(sp?) for them.

A lot of us use slang terminology etc. so they wouldn't understand everything. And no language MOD is perfect, so there could always be screw ups. A good idea in theory, but it's best if non-english speakers just find another GS forum.

We had tried having language-specific forums a long time ago (back on the Isaac's Revenge forums), but they just didn't work out very well. We (the mods and admins) had no idea what was going on in the language-specific forums because we couldn't speak that language. The last thing we need is for people to be doing something illegal right under our noses because we don't understand their language.
While I wish we could cater to those from other countries, I think it is best to keep things like they are. Like Agatio said, there are no really good mods for translating posts into other langauges, and I wouldn't want there to be misunderstandings because of bad translations.

Yeah, its a good idea, but things would get far too complicated.

I only know two other languages besides English: Italian and French. And I don't know too much of those languages either. Language-specific forums would be complicated

... I don't think there's much left to discuss about this because the final word was given.
BUT, if we ever have forums with other languages, Sheba's mother tongue is spanish so, I could help there if you need it.

We should maybe create a subsection for foreign languages? Seems like there are a lot of Spanish speaking people here.

Well, I am completely dumb about Spanish, so don't look at me to patrol that forum.
Perhaps if Max wanted to, but I don't know why you wouldn't just talk in English.

Learn to spell, we have a spell checker and if you constantly misspel, I'll report you. Also, no one is talking about learning new languages, it's a discussion about MOD's that allow foreign users to understand us, and us them.
