Implementing language settings

An interesting idea for sure

It would be great because i speak spanish to translate some :P

Home = Inicio , Giveaways = Sorteos , Account = Cuenta (0p) , Forum = Foro , Support = Soporte , Network = mas paginas , Logout = Salir

I dont like it. Everyone should be able to speak english.

What do you mean by "language settings?" Do you mean the site would automatically translate any foreign text into the language of your choice? (Ex: You have the site language set to "English," someone posts in spanish, and the post the is translated into English for you. Meanwhile, your English post would be translated into spanish for the spanish-speaking person).

While I would strongly appreciate the site remaining in English to enable communication amongst all members, I would volunteer to help translating it in either German/French/Portuguese should there be an initiative. I don't see it happening though for various reasons, mainly because there doesn't seem to be a real need yet. The only thing we could do instead would be to have the FAQ/Rules in different languages so as to explain to non-English speakers what they can and cannot do.

Edit: I would support subforums, although once again I think there is no real need for now.

I'd really not like everything on the site being translated because then it's going to start producing threads all over the forums in different languages. If we had different subforums that wouldn't be a problem.

I don't really think there's a need for a translation. It should be easy enough to understand the navigational side of the website.
Come to think of it - the website itself isn't all that text heavy, so it should be straight-forward enough to understand as is.

Use Google Chrome, it should offer to translate the page for you.

I like it and could help :)

Only English is alienating non-English users? Implement this and 80% will alienate everyone but their own language speaking members.

No this is a bad idea. Instead speaking English should be promoted. This is an international community and we need to live with each other not next to each other.

This has been suggested many times over the past few months, especially while we are growing. We've had members translate the FAQ into multiple languages, but as I've stated before, translations can be sloppy and it's a lot of work to translate the website. If we used an automatic service to translate the website, it would probably generate even more problems when specific rules don't go over very well in other languages. It's always been a great suggestion to think about, but in reality, it's a lot harder to pull off. Remember that it's just cg developing these three websites on top of his real life and actual job. It would be very time consuming, on top of everything else that requires daily attention and new features being implemented.
