Post replys in English please?

On this forum is the laguages English if you give replys.
I get pms and replys in other languages, so I have no idea what you mean.
If you dont speak English, then we have groups for it, or use a translation.
I can only give you a reply or comment in English, and its polite against you. :)
Many thanks it advance.

Hey everyone and thank you Sylvana for bringing up this topic!
I quite agree with Sylvana, Carol and Mephala who make some excellent points. If most of the posts are in English, then why replying in another language? If someone thinks that the receiver of a comment, reply, pm etc will use google translate to understand the message, then why dont the sender use it first?
I happen to speak and understand 4 languages (inlcuding my native) but never crossed my mind to write in my native language, as Im absolutely sure that noone would understand; dont even see the flag up there ;P
I think we all know that this is an international site but the official language of it is English. Thats why the moderators ask help for translating other languages into English, thats why we are asked to put an English title on the post/thread/pattern we upload, thats why when we search we use English terms; because this way we get the majority of results. We cant possibly know the word "fairy", "house", "flower", "magazine", etc in all the languages of the world, can we?
So, if someone has the opportunity to translate his/her message in English before sending, it would be very useful and helpful for all the members - including the moderators; lets not add more work to them!
However, I do understand that this is not so easy for some of the members... If this is the case, someone can ask for help from a forum with members of his/her own country or from the moderators or even with a simple post in Free Talk saying "help!". Youll find out, as Sylvana said, we are all very willing to help each other with the topics we know! :loveliness:
Sorry for talking too much... got carried away! LOL! :$

Are you kidding? This is international and as such should never be required to speak one language. I only speak English however if I were raised in a different language Id be downright shocked by your request. If I only spoke any other language I would feel free to comment to people in that language. If you get a comment or message in another language ignore it or Google translate it. You dont demand that people learn another language just to tell you how pretty a project is or ask you where it came from ...

There are so many different languages spoken here. The forum at one time was English speaking and google translate was the most common use for translation. But thats not the case any more. Members choose to speak in their own language and so the only thing you can do is use a translation system like google. Unfortunately google is not the best.

Its interesting, because most (in not all) posts sharing patterns are in English. So one could assume most people understand English, but then reply in other languages.
