Russian lang. branch forum

[hum@no.id]

Hi! Admin

Possible create russian "branch" on forum for native Language Users?

Like as other forums - gardengnomesoftware, panolab...

[johnwilletts]

NO,

Until Putin leads the world, International English (not the British or American versions) is the language of communication.

Tell your friends to either go on a course or buy the Spherical Panorama program - which has also fantastic pictures of beautiful women - which probably won't interest a few of our fellow West Coast bloggersb;) ;)

'Spherical Panorama program'... Hih:))))) this is an ukrainian schizophrenic.... girl on "header" really - "I appear in the dreams on night in nightmare"... I too know several your west woodmans... for instance mr. Ford Oxaal (PictoSphere) http://www.pictosphere.com/about.html or french WPanorama http://www.wpanorama.com/...

I understand your irony. All this not to subject of the question. If Thomas Raucher opens Deutsch section on forum (http://gardengnomesoftware.com/forum/) - in this don't strange - he is an austrian.

Existing many forums which muitilanguage support... or you yesterday were born? Denis (FPP author) - russian man... in this not will nor what damnable if will exist russian small branch of this forum.

Also question was given upper members (admins). I do not think that will be correct, this question - answering NUB;)

[johnwilletts]

To be serious. This is a world-wide Forum. Our languages might be different, but we all share a common technical interest and want to improve our skills.

I think Thomas has made a mistake by creating an exclusive group. They might have good ideas, but whom, but the Germans bother to look? They have formed a secret society which has resulted in their Forum not being nearly as good as this one - and why I use FPP rather than Garden Gnome's.

I know it's difficult communicating in a foreign language, but like Denis, stay with it. Your English is a hellofalot better than my Russian.

If a russian is more comfortable to ask for help here in his native language, let him post in russian. This shouldn't be a problem in a open-mindend community of international photographers and programmers.

I fully agree.

It is not a problem for me to post alongside native Russian speakers who have a problem communicating in English or other languages. I prefer that users of FPP get answers to their questions rather than they will be left with their software problems because there is no support available in their native tongue which may be the only language they can communicate properly in. Why should they suffer lack of support because of the language they speak, when it would be so easy to meet their needs?

A Russian section wouldn't hurt anyone who doesn't read Russian. Just don't click to enter if you don't want to.

It would even benefit other non-Russian speaking members in the end. Solutions and tricks and treats would most likely be translated into English by English speaking Russians or Russian speaking English speakers.

If there is a need (and there seems to be, or this subject would not have come up), it should be regarded as any other solvable issue.

I'm speaking from experience. I've spent 35 years working around the world producing Audio Visual materials for language teaching. Not only English but Japanese, Swedish and even American.

In this small world, if you are a professional, you have to be able to communicate in a common language if you are going to survive. That language is accepted as being International English.

I know how hard it is to learn a new language, particularly for those who do not have a tradition of English language learning but many people taking part in this Forum have had to make the effort. Denis has, Hans has and, I guess from your name, even you have Tuddi! It's a battle we all have to fight.

I'm having huge problems at the moment coming to terms with the culture, vocabulary, grammar and logic of a new language. It's called Flash Panorama Player but I have to put the effort in if I am going to succeed.

Having a Russian Language Group would be a step backwards. In practice, others wouldn't click on their postings so they wouldn't get the help of the worldwide bank of expertise this group has and I suspect that other Russian speakers wouldn't bother to translate.

If there were a Russian Language Group, surely it would only be fair to offer the same facilities to, for example: Chinese, Spanish and Danish users. The whole system would break down.

Now, back to Flasificator
