PM'd you.

[Yamcha]

I can start translating into bulgarian but for french i'll need some help.Btw I got 3 games into my dir

[wormpaul]

1: Stupid, Stupid idea Tom...

2: Stupid idea for me personal...why would dutch people read dutch??? (they all know english...)

3: Stupid idead beacuse this gives so more work for the people that we cant tribute so many games anymore...

4t/m100 = just wanna let you know that it is stupid in my opinion, of course is it way too much work for translaters to translate all reviews but why are we intrested in langueges that only a few 100 people can read on the site??

So my idea: Let's keep it in english (1 day it will be the languege that all people know...togheter with spanish) and only aks the people to translate for those who know the IMPORTANT langueses on the site

Like: Croatia (not really important..but for the good feeling) , Germany, French, Spain and maybe some other languege (nothing comes to my mind at the moment)

The whole idea of so many langueges is just stupid...at least in my opinion...

Glad to see you are having an oppinion, but a translation serves many purposes.

1)
We get more visitors. One of the top referers is Kvasir.no (a Norwegian search engine), and they use Norwegian search querries. So without the Norwegian translation, those visitors would be passing us by.

2)
Not everyone reads English.
We get a lot of feedback from people saying how great it is that we offer multiple languages.

3)
It makes the site more professional.
It shows that we really put a lot of effort into the site.

Not to mention the attitude...
You must really be convinced that your language is going to die out - WHY?
Do you know how many people spoke english back in let's say 1400?
They were convinced that it would be replaced by French!

I'll take over the Slovene part - don't know how fast I'll be, but I'll do the Slovene translations - give me a PM :Tom:

You can delete it all after it TOM...but just for now:

1: That's absolute true...but is that worth it???....arent many people just use the international search engines??

2: That's the point that is really frustrating me...i think it's just too work for my languege to translate it all...and maybe i`m just lazy but i think it counts for more langueges in the world....

How many people can't read english??? (talking about the "rich" countries in the world...)

3: Again absolute True k: ...but that's also something that you must find out in the future (or by asking people)...are people still willing to review games when they must write in 2 langueges???...it cost simply more time (thats a fact...no discuss about that) and when too many people stop with reviewing it's the end of the big grow....(or people start to make even shorter reviews...so the quality of the site isnt that good anymore)

All not to insult or complain at you (i know...you all admins made the decision) but just wanna keep you sharp...i still think it's not good for the site..

Remember: It's spare time for all of us...not a real job :whistle:

i dont see what you mean, not evry dutch person knows english not every german knows english.so we might as well make sites 4 them so they can experience one of the best abandonware sites on the net.
