We had this discussion quite a while ago, but was kinda decided it was a bit hard to moderate for the moderators if they don't understand or speak the language. Which language did you had in mind? I myself don't mind Dutch as I can fully understand that. Same for German we got German people onboard. Not sure about other languages.

I'd rather not have people freely talk about other people and the mod in a different language when only a certain group of people can understand what you're saying.

Summed up pretty well. Bad idea, unless I get my own section because I speak Australian and have a funny accent. =þ

I'm pretty sure we brought this idea to the team back in the middle of 2008, when I was approached by a new member asking for support sections in different languages.

As Sky said, the idea was voted down by the team in the face of it being way too difficult to moderate. I think they ended up adopting the mindset that, if absolutely necessary, a person could post their problem in the Help section in their native tongue, and someone else who knows that language can answer back. Generally, though, it's not a problem, as most new members seem to make at least some attempt to post in English.

Yea. I mean since I started ESF back in 2003, I have kinda grown to people who do not know English very well and alot of it is understandable. I mean most of it is small mistakes and misspelling.
