Suggestion- Make this forums International

Shadow Eternity · #1 08-09-2007, 11:33 AM

I'm sorry if this has been posted before, if it has been, please lock it.

I'm thinking, if this forums doesn't run on English mostly, expanding the language range, maybe it will increase the number active members?

Maybe we can make forums into different languages that other countries can understand somehow, like an internation section that explains this forums and its purpose. I'm thinking that if this forums grew into a forums supporting more than 1 language, then it might attract more people. We can expand the language range into Eastern Asia, where I found lots of gold farming comes from there. And if this suggestion becomes successful, then you should makesure we staple the rules hard on them. Make internation rules of something lol. I might be able to help.

Anyways, consider it

Hmm, Shadow Eternity, that actually is a very good suggestion. I have noticed that 80% of the time forums that are international have more active members than forums that are not. Anyways, great idea!

Yeah, I'm sure there's lots of members here that CAN translate and SPEAK other languages as well.

it would just make the forum itself into a different language. all the posts will still be in english. and even if it was possible to change the post into a different language if anyone typed in 1337speak or bad spelling it wouldnt translate.

I don't think that would work really well. We would either end up with 2 different languages being used on the same topic or would have 2 different sections with the same stuff but in different languages. Most people that play Runescape speak or understand English so there is no reason to create a foreign section.

Yes, most people that play Runescape speaks English. But what about the gold farmers in the east?

Although the different languages part is always tripping me.

too much work to be done.

Well if it works, then wouldn't it attract more outsiders? And even though if it doesn't attract more, it still wouldn't hurt to have one just in case.

That's what I think

It seems like to much work for such a complicated result.
