Farchord Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Okay I did ask for it before, but it was 1 year ago. And I think that Neowin grew alot in 1 year. Okay, to the point. I think it would be fun for neowin to go Multilingual (only for it's News portal, not necessarily for the forums). I personnaly could help translate the site into French, but I'm sure alot of other people could help translate the news in other languages.... You know, a bit like alot of sites... www.neowin.fr www.neowin.de And so on I think it would really attract alot more people, and I would really be glad to help establish that :) It's just a proposition... I have time on my hands, so I just thought about it :) tell me what you think :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ivand Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 Well, then we'll need lots of people speaking french, and lots of people speaking deutch (sp?), lots of people speaking spanish, etc etc. becuase I'm pretty sure one people cant traduce it alone. I dont think is such a good idea Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boffa Jones Veteran Posted August 4, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 4, 2004 I think it is a good idea, but tehn all those people will want to post in the forums and then they will realize that they cant because the mods cant deal with all the different languages (understandably).

Well with a quick warning that the forums are in english, or I dunno you could create just 1 section in the language, or I mean.... It's workable imo....

bangbang023 Veteran Posted August 4, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 4, 2004 It's really not workable. The whole idea of the site is the community behind it. If we start giving news posts in languages other than english, we're going to wind up having a lot of non english posts on the forums. If you can understand english well enough to interact on the forums, I don't see the problem with the front page being english also. This is an english site and has always been one.

Or hell if the forums are a pain, u can just make the portal without the forums... hell I think it can always work! Just tryin to help.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

.... Posted August 4, 2004 Share Posted August 4, 2004 *sigh* This has been discussed at end. Neowin is English ONLY. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tim Dorr Veteran Posted August 5, 2004 Veteran Share Posted August 5, 2004 We would have to translate every news post by hand to the various languages. It would be confusing because some parts of the site would be in French or whatever, and others would be in English. Neowin is and will always be English only.
