It started as a technical thread, but it turns to a war of numbers (nearly 200 millions of people speaking French, na na nère!)


Isn't the African French actually a number of creole languages put together and named French?

Think of all influx of thought from the Esperanto speakers around the world if we could just remove the language barrier!

There's a tribe in northern Western Samoa that has full prog-reviewing potential if we just give them the chance

Lamp... I suggest that ProgArchives goes Esperanto in 2012 to celebrate its 125th anniversary: it was designed for purposes like this.

Also i want to clarify that i am not searching a traslate the whole site , i only want to make aviable reviwes in other lenguages , in order to do that i think we only need

1. A option in reviews to specify the lenguage you are writing , and also a system that can organize by
 them differently , a image says more than a 1000 words so i make this poorly edited paint image to explain it





2. A mod  reviewer for every lenguage: Who  speaks/writes the chosen lenguage but also dominates english fluently and preferently that he is a honorary collaborator , in the spanish case i would vote for Cesar Inca

2a. Optional: A way to select what reviews of what lenguage you want to see :

Please don't bump your thread if you have nothing further to add. It's really annoying and completely pointless.

Taringa is a website where they post lots, LOTS of links for illegal downloading. I wouldn't really use it s an example of anything.

I don't understand the need for language restrictions on reviews these days. Why must we force our foreign visitors to cobble together a review in a second or third language or, worse still, feed the thing through an online translation tool? There's nothing worse than trying to read a review written by someone who clearly doesn't have the means to properly express themselves in English - they might as well have not bothered. Whereas, if that reviewer were allowed the freedom to write in their native language the site would be rendered more inclusive and the pages wouldn't be quite so riddled with poorly written reviews. Everybody wins!

There is actually a lot of us here using this site to learn English. Hence; we deserve a recognition as an educational service website. In my case, English is my fifth language. 

Let's keep this website bilingual. B*****cks as spoken in the General Discussions forum and English as spoken in the rest of this forum and website.
