Original post I can see different languages in this forum. I don’t know if there is multilingual support in Discourse. If exists, please could you enable it? If not, I propose to encourage users to specify the language of the topic in the title. Possible poll ( suggested by @anon90052001 ) How do …

In my opinion the main language in the forum should stay English because the user base is not that large that it supports extremely differentiated languages. Information and knowledge would scatter into all different locations and it would be like Babel 2.0. The forum should not encourage people to…

Even for people with a Romanic language background, English is the de-facto new lingua franca. :wink: [image] Stefan: the user base is not that large That’s the point. I think it’s parsimonious to try sticking to English, and not split the forum in multiple sub-thingies. There are less than …

I don’t mean that we encourage people to leave English, it is the main language of this forum. But I think we need to allow non-English topics because there are non-fluent English writers. So, we need flags for non-English topics, I think the usage of brackets with the language in the title is fine. …

[image] sim6: But I think we need to allow non-English topics In fact, there are already some threads for French people, Italian people or even Spanish people. I think in this way there are a simply way to place a doubt, a question, or whatever someone want in his or her own language.

I pretty much like how things are handled right now: Threads in other languages than English usually quickly get a translation in English, and are answered in the original language, with an English translation (Even though sometimes it’s a straight copy from Google Translate). This is something I …

I think there is no harm in enabling the user interface translatation. If possible, english is best, but everybody should be able to ask questions in every language he or she is able to speak. Maybe is would be great to have some multilingual users that volunteer to translate in topics, this would …

Thanks for getting the topic going. So our options are: See Discourse functionality on handling multilanguage forum Create a category per language. Besides “Fairphone Help” there are like language houses “Spanish” “French” Italian" Keep it as it is. Make non-English threads begin with the language…

As a moderator, I think things are working well at the moment. The forum needs to be simple to use, and I think if we have additional categories for various other languages we are at risk of making the forum too complicated and fragmenting the support. My preference would be to write the language i…

I second this idea of checking for Discourse multilingual potential. Indeed there are a couple of non-english threads, but from what I can see they quickly become completely mangled with all questions totally unrelated to each other, and responses diluted far away, which negates the interest of a f…

There is one: 🇪🇸 Dudas en castellano :wink:
