    Non-English Languages

    Hey guys, I'm currious about something. Since PGD is an international site and we get members and visitors from around the world, there has to be a lot more people that speak another language than those that can just speak English.

    So what are your OTHER languages?

    Alphabetical and ability to choose more than one language would have been good

    :lol: Well I can't do anything about the second one, but yeah I think getting them other than randomly scouring around a map of the world would have something to do with the first.

    Oh and just to save those of you who want to count them.. it's 61 languages.

    I voted based on my home Language rather than my primary Language (Voting English would have been boring )

    It's actually kinda funny. I was thinking of both you and TheLion when I added that one.

    You guys are both our South African connection.

    A lot of people learn programming before their English skills are good enough to participate in international forums like this one. At least it was true for me. The success of a programming language also depends on multi-lingual literature. Languages like C++, Java and PHP are very accessible because book stores are full with books to learn those languages. English books often simply don't make it into the book stores.

    Pascal did had good very literature available in the Turbo Pascal days. A Delphi book is not that hard to find nowadays, but the situation has worsened a lot.

    We could compensate by making our web sites available in more languages, but this is of course a lot of work.

    Nitrogen: Hmm. yeah I guess you , McCLaw and a few others are way down in South Africa too huh? Very cool. When looking up all these languages I realised how diverse your country is compaired to most of the other countries in Africa, me being one who doesn't know too much about the continent of Africa it's self.

    dmantione: Yeah I guess it does kinda suck sometimes how a non-English speaking person who wants to program and get into something like Pascal or a specific too, yet can't read or speak the language very much. Vice versa the other way around. Well there was a book idea running around the forums, perhaps one of the main features of this book could be that it is also offered in multiple languages.

    Maybe you should set it up as check boxes and ask what languages we can read and write . My primary language is english (since I changed career paths), but I can speak, read, and write a few others well enough to carry on some form of conversation
