Title: European languages option
Post by: vlad1m1r on June 24, 2012, 01:34 pm
Further to a discussion concerning "poor" English in some vendor profiles I wonder if we could make SR more Eurocentric by having a French/German/Dutch language option for the site? I agree it's fairly self explanatory but certainly having a buyer/seller's guide in a user's native language would clear up any ambiguity!

If the Admins did decide this was a good idea I'd be happy to translate the French/German sections for them. Perhaps we could find a kind, bilingual Dutch person who could do the same too?

I understand the site is mainly used by Americans and Brits but I wonder if that's not something of a self fulfilling prophecy if we only maintain an English language site?

Looking forward to hearing your thoughts.

Thanks N1ghtmare +1 - I've always wanted to learn Russian (mainly because I long to go live in the Mongolian foothills in a Yurt one day and I understand your language is very common there) - any tips for beginners? :-)

That's an interesting preferance :D

The best way to learn a language is to immerse yourself into it. Watch Russian TV, read Russian books, talk to Russians etc. Everything else is just bullshit. All those classes and courses won't get you anywhere past the simplest level.
