Title: put sections of subjects in different languages
Post by: Nexeuz on November 15, 2015, 05:16:18 AM

Hello my name is Nicholas and lately I have had some interest in the subject of the flat earth, I wonder if there is a possibility to create sections in other languages?

For example in Spanish, I speak Spanish

Sorry for my english

thanks you.

Hi Nicholas, my name is Nicholas as well. As of this time, the Flat Earth Socity is an English biased forum. However, there is nothing in the rules that says you can't create topics in Spanish. I'm not sure that you will get a great response, but if you did, it may be a good "proof of concept" that the Flat Earth Socity should branch out.

Simply put, if you can show that there is a need for a Spanish sub-forum, we will consider adding it.

And how are you going to moderate a Spanish forum, Pongo?

If there is enough interest to create one, we can make one of the Spanish speakers a mod in that particular forum.

Posts could be entered in the language that is most comfortable to those posting.
There are many translating websites that could translate them into the language most comfortable to the reader.
For example a person in Spain could enter a post in Spanish and  a person in Germany could use one of the translator websitesto translate it into German.
This could apply for just about any combinations of "from-to" languages.

Example of English to Spanish:
Mensajes podrían introducirse en el idioma que le resulte más cómoda a los publicados.
Hay muchos sitios web de traslación que podría traducirse al lenguaje más cómodo para el lector.
Por ejemplo una persona en España podría entrar en un mensaje en español y una persona en Alemania podría utilizar uno del traductor websitesto traducirlo al alemán.

Esto podría aplicarse a casi cualquier combinación de idiomas "de-a".

English to German:
Beiträge können in der Sprache, die am bequemsten zu jenen Beitrag ist eingegeben werden. Es gibt viele Websites, die sie übersetzen in die Sprache bequemsten für den Leser zu übersetzen könnte. Zum Beispiel eine Person in Spanien könnte einen Beitrag in Spanisch geben und eine Person in Deutschland könnte einer der Übersetzer Website verwenden, um sie ins Deutsche zu übersetzen. Dies könnte für fast jede Kombination von "von-bis" Sprachen anzuwenden.

Up to the admins, I guess.

That's a pretty neat idea. I think it'd be cool to try that out, test it, see if it works and isn't too much of a hassle. There's not much I can do there, but I fully support giving it a shot.

I doubt it would see much use, but it also seems like it would never affect anyone negatively. I'd be all for giving it a shot
