 The Forum is now Multilingual

The forum now has a new feature: topics that are posted in non-English can be translated by an administrator to English. The translation will appear on the right side of the original post. I will handle Hungarian posts, I'm looking for a volunteer (volunteers?) for the odd German post.

The main language of the forum will remain English. However, seeing the increased non-English posts, it's obvious that something like this will be a benefit to the community. The purpose is basically to facilitate the conversation between folks who don't speak English well.

Some notes about the translation: they will not be "exact". First of all it's usually very difficult to try and match all meaning (and shades of meanings). The point is just to provide some English text, that is very close in meaning, so that everyone can answer or give feedback. We also will probably not translate _all_ posts, it's up to the admin to decide if it's worth it.

As always, feedback is welcome!

You need very high level access to add translations. I will only grant these to a few dedicated folks who will request it wink

Sure, you can try to translate yourself. Even with bad grammar, most of the time it's possible to make sense out of what people mean...

 (no topic)

Persze, nyugodtan fordíthatsz magadnak. Még ha rossz is a nyelvtan, legtöbbször meg lehet érteni mit akartak mondani az emberek...

Hello itt is mindenkinek!

Ez nagyon jó munkásság ám, amit itt csináltok!!!

Büszke vagyok rátok és magamra is, hogy annak idején nem egy szaros c64-es után rinyátam!

Nos, hogyan lehetne a nevemet a fehérségből vörösbe pongyolálodni?
Előbb bizonyíték kell és nem igéret?!

Jó, oké

You're welcome! About the color: I think you meant posting as a logged in member vs. visitor, but I see that you've figured that one out already.
