Hi,

Here are english speaker's opinions ! Laughing

Yes, it's true that there is some disadvantages to do this, and somehow it seems not compatible with the will to be international. On another way, to be multilangual shows the will to welcome non english speakers...

Yes, Google translate can be a way. If you want to keep only english language and that non-english speakers use google translate, put a link and advertise it well : a lot of people don't think to use it !

But I don't like Google translate. If you know 2 languages, try to use it : I'm sure that you will prefer to read the source text rather than the translation !

It's amazing to see how google translate gave me the proof that it's very bad ! I gave it this french text :

Un moyen simple d'�tre multilingue est d'utiliser le traducteur de Google. J'ai vu �a sur d'autres forums. Le posteur/lecteur qui ne parle/n'�crit pas l'anglais pourrait avantageusement utiliser cet outil tout pr�t.

That is what said jerson, translated by myself in french. Here is what Google translates :

Google translator says himself that it's not advantageaous to use it Laughing

Imagine now that I don't understand at all english (it's the case of a lot of French people, even C++ programmers !) : I will post this translation without knowing that I'm saying the contrary of what I think !!!

No, believe me : non english speakers will not use this forum if they are obliged to read/write in english.

Take it another way : go to some french forum, ie developpez.com and try to read some thread (ie this one Wink

).

Now, suppose that I'll make a forum to help french people using Ultimate++. Will you help me on this forum, and participate using Google translate ?
