Well, that's how people who doesn't speak nor read english feels... specialy when they have to ask other people to translate what those places says because they can't understand. Quite frustrating :-( > We're all engineers, I suppose, so English (even if it's "broken > English") should normally not be a problem to read, understand and > --especially-- help each other. Better "broken English" than "superb > Swahili", just to name some language... Well, sad to say, but no, no all engineers speak english (nor even broken broken english). I now, in some places it may sound _strange_, but it's just the reality. > The reason lots of people are using to justify the creation of a forum > in their own mother tongue, is the "English language barrier".

Well, you are Belgian, you were born at least 700 km away from another place in which another languague is spoken. Now, if you think in countrys like Argentina, the nearest country which speaks another language is Brazil (and, for most of our pupulation, that will be more than 1000 km away). The next non-spanish speaken country would be EEUU, or perhaps Europe, or some country from Africa. What I am trying to say it's that (I guess) I do understand what Geert is feeling, but I can't think in the same way. Not knowing another language in Europe may sound like lizeness, but not here :-(. And yes, we do encourage students to learn english, but it is not always possible. Being part of a Lug, I found that giving support / forming communities in the mother tongue always worked far much better than other thing. Yes, the problem of duplicating content is there. But that's part of the game, and, to the extent of what libre software thought me, the community itself does it best to remedy it. Even if duplicated work has to be done. </just trying to show other point of view - no trolling intended> Regards, Lisandro. -- Military intelligence is a contradiction in terms. -- Groucho Marx Lisandro Damián Nicanor Pérez Meyer http://perezmeyer.com.ar/
