While I don't have the final authority, I would say that it's not something that is really needed for the most part unless there is a large portion of the community that speaks another language. I assume that most people playing Blizzard games are well versed in English.

Is there a reason why you would want to post in another language? Would it not be more desirable to have a larger participation than a few people whom happen to speak this foreign language?

Um.... Nutsy Wutsy, really, can we? He's a Bulgarian, and besides me he's the only one that's kinda active, let us talk in bulgarian, we'll make translations at the bottom, it's just because English is hard for 90% of us, so yeah we like our own stuff better ;) Plus, if we could talk in Bulgarian I could say you'd have more users, cuz generally when it comes to forum maniacs in Europe, we're a leading force!

You're not going to get in trouble for using another language, but we're not going to be creating any language-specific forums for anything like that at this point.

Hawthorne

Nah, we don't need a forum, just the right to talk it is good enough ;)

I can speak Indonesian as well, if anyone feels like a conversation :)

I don't really see the point in people posting in other languages, since you'll only be understood by a few members if any.

I'm gonna roughly translate that. It's russian, maybe a dialect, would be better if it was in cyrillic.

I can talk many things that you can't. ( don't know what yazekof means, might be mistaken. ). Here's why. It means so much that you can't understand. ( Again this is rough, some words in bulgarian and russian are near in meaning, but that's liek 30-40% only )

An interesting fact is that Bulgarians can understand russian better than Russians can understand bulgarian, despite the fact that russian Is more complex.

Now now folks... you don't want to start speaking in Portuguese now do you? :rolleyes:
Provided English is currently the most internationally recognized language, let's keep it that way... right? I've brushed up my English to a very decent level by just beeing around and translating the stuff I don't grasp at 1st (although there aren't many in language terms). :)
And please no more Spanish. Although I can understand every word and speak it somewhat easily, but I prefer English or my mother tongue every day of the week. :P

Bah, similar happens to Spanish and Portuguese fellas. Although Spanish is rather more simplistic and has more archaic terms they cannot understand us, or don't want to, although we can grasp almost every word they 'throw'. Sometimes it's a barrier they draw (or rather seems to) on purpose to play ye high horse role. :mad:

It's because Russian is moe complex. like 20 tenses or something, by what I remember. My father knows russian very well. Well it's like this, let's say you never learned basic math, only the hard stuff, and one day you have to do something that's easy, but you don't know/ can't understand. It's basically the same, takes a lot of time to get used to from harder to simpler stuff. Russian is harder in tences, they use 20 tenses in such ways we'd get tangled up, we use around 5, but we have around 5 types of bulgarian, depending on the place you were born you change some words a little :)

Yep, you should also consider many countries in Africa that were our colonies, East Timor and now the back in Chinese hands, Macau. :)
Did you also knew that Nagasaki was the only city founded by ocidental hands in the Orient? ;p

Considering that most European countries conspired in the pink map deal to put apart our territories in Africa, along with some other stunts, yeah. But nothing compared to some latest U.S. stunts. :angel:

By the way, does anyone speak Slovak or Czech? I am learning Slovak because I will be going to Slovakia next year as an exchange student, and could use someone to practice with once I become more proficient.

Well you could try with me, that language is salvanian, so I could be of some help. The most important thing is intonation.

I'm pretty proficient in Mandarin Chinese - scored 800 on the SAT II, though that really doesn't mean a lot :/

A lot of that stuff is similar to what one can learn on mainland China in the third/fourth grade. Bleh.

Kong пита дали говорим немски. Сигурен ли си че можеш? Тоя език го мраза само 2ки и 3ки в училище!:confused:

Да мога да говоря немски. Или поне да чета и разбирам. И аз не го харесвам, но имах между 4 и 5, а понякога и шестици :)
