:gb: How do you prefer to handle multiple languages? :fr: Comment voyez-vous la gestion des langues autres que l’anglais ici:

  • :gb: Keep it as it is don’t make nothing special to handle multiple languages.
    :fr: Ne rien changer.

Missing here is the question of checking Discourse multilingual capabilities (and activating them if present)

3

Please, could you check it and propose something more specific?

4

The last option is the only thing which I found on meta.discourse.com

5

Too many options it seems :wink:

6

I propose a final vote between the two favourite options (after some time), in case there is no absolute vote.

7

I just went trying to motivate the french guys in one of the french threads, we should do the same for spanish guys etc. that for most of them won’t even have heard of this poll…

8

@sim6 could you please provide Spanish translations for the options in the poll?

@herve5: could you give your French translation to @sim6 so he can also add it up there?

You could use the flags to mark the translations (is this possible even in a topic title?). :es: :fr:

9

If a topic title is in a language I don’t understand I simply don’t click it.

10

Here it is, I’ll try to send it to @sim6 directly.

Sorry to bump up this old topic/poll but are there any plans to implement the outcome of the poll? I believe there is quite a clear winner with option 5.

15

No, there are no plans. Thanks for reminding us!

I still support my opinion in the original thread, but I propose a final ballot between option 2 and 5 (in the personal hope that people who voted for the other options will decide for option 2).

I voted for 5, mainly for those relatively rare users that just won’t understand anything english here (so, won’t be able to track [theirlangage]), but now, with quite some months experience here, I feel we juste are not numerous enough to split the forum in many languages.
So I’d switch to your option 2 presumably -but don’t consider this a victory: to me it’s a sign of our weakness…
