Question about posts/comments/topics in English

[Spectre]

Alright, just for the lulz I'd like to see what this community thinks about this Basically, we have a number of Latinos who refuse to speak/write in English here on forum for some reason. Now in-game it doesn't really matter, most of us write in whatever language we want there. But the forum has always been following that unwritten rule "post your comments in English so that 99% of people will understand you". It's been like that since I started playing here all those years ago, but now it seems it's changing for the worse.
And yeah, some of you will protest this, saying "oh we should just let them speak Spanish, you might as well learn it or translate it if you want to understand them". But that's not really a solution, is it? Like I said, 95% of this community has no problem writing in English, even if they don't really speak it correctly.
The fact is, if we start following that example, everyone will soon start posting in their native languages only and imagine what the forum will then look like.
Anyway, while it might not seem like a big deal, take a few moments to vote and if you want explain your thoughts in the comments

There needs to be a base language or a couple of base languages which needs to be followed by everyone
So yeah

I don't really care about it at all but we could bring back the language section which we had in old forums so everyone can keep bullshitting in those topics. :3

I don’t think there should be any rule forcing people to write in only a couple of languages like English, etc as it will be unfair to the people who doesn’t know it. We all have a right to share whatever we want and in any language that we want. If you really care about someone’s idea then take sometime and open Google translate and translate it and if you don’t care then just ignore the comment and move on. Making a rule about talking in a particular language is not fair.

Ah, but see, why should the majority, who speak English, use Google Translate just to comprehend what a couple of guys, who refuse to speak English, wrote? Like I said, it wasn't like that in the past and it shouldn't be like that now. How long before our large Indian part of the community starts writing only in Indian? It would be a mess, wouldn't it?
I agree with what Ege said, we could at least create several new boards/topics where people can speak to each other in their native languages, but for everything else it should be in English.

Use Google Translate

Google Translate isn't 100% accurate.

Example

are dashed by the
"bhai bhahai bhai" movie
have fun stories

Sounds offensive? Nope.

Now the raw and non google translated version.

are teri maa ka bhosda madafaka
"are bhai bhaibhai bhai"
have fun mada

Zero idea to the Non Hindi/Urdu peeps.

The first line means: (exclamation word),Your mother's cunt Madafaka.

Combined with the Bhai Bhai Meme. Dat Meme'ing tho
Obviously when this was translated the next two lines combined makes it sound something retarded but non offensive.

[LPCOLTER]

It's a meme, don't stereotype me

[Shark_The_Helicopter]

It's a meme, don't stereotype me

There's a reason why I didn't show your name and just cited it as a example for bad google translation which cover offensive words accidentally.

In no way I meant to offend you by singling you out.

I even complimented the meme'ing lol.

[LPCOLTER]

That was sarcasm what i meant for mada

Since these Spanish guys only post on off-topic section, I don't really mind.

If this was a Spanish server you wouldn't like us to make you speak in Spanish under the threat of a punishment, would you? Of course, most of us wouldn't understand you, so it would be a problem for your communication. Not really a problem for us, but for you. The same applies here.

Who said anything about punishment though? This is only a poll to see what people think about this. If this was a Spanish forum, then I'd try to communicate in Spanish either by Google Translate or some other method. All I'm suggesting is make language boards, but general communication should be English only. That's how it's always been here
