Multi-national Progarchives!!

How about this for an idea:

ProgArchives is an international website shown in English which is a great as you can share your views with proggers around the world, but I had a really weird thought, but thought to myself "hang on that will never work".

What about local versions of ProgArchives examples below:

progarchives.fr - french language version,

progarchives.de - german language version,

progarchives.jp - janpenese version and so on...

Would that work??, it would be useful for people who DON'T speak ENGLISH and use their native anguage.

OR

have a system on progarchives.com that uses a translator system for non ENGLISH speaking users!

What do you think?, would it work?, is a a good or bad idea?

I develop web cms software which is capable of multi-language websites, but I know first hand that it is extremely cumbersome to translate all the little text fragments which are used on all the pages.

If you want to see what automatic translation does to progressive rock reviews, have a look at this:

If m@x allows me, yes definetely, I can have Man and Budgie added then, hey,hey!!

M@X and Rony would have to be the management for all the local progarchives domains, which would be a handful of a job!!

Secondly how would that affect the .com progarchives!

Snow Dog might have something to say about that!

A WIKIPROG could be a good idea, but it'll need a lot of work and MONEY!!!

However, PA make possible the interchange among people coming from all parts of the world and the way they feel progressive rock. It is amazing!

Due to their cultural backgrounds people receive information in different ways and express them in their tastes and feelings. That's why PA have the status of a real international forum - not necessarily globalised because we don't think equally.

Fortunately or not, we have to use a common language and unless a specific international language is created and accepted for all we have to use English.
