Будут деиствительно множество русских членов

I doubt PGD would benefit from a language switch, given the fact we'd all need to use Babel Fish

Yeah, I think it would help to stick primarily to english as a standard. [size=9px](Though I'd love to provide translations of my work in other languages, I cannot speak any other. :? Save for a few select words or phrases. I can swear quite fluently in Romanian.

<-- Romanian Ex-Girlfriend :lol

But if you guys want to use Russian amounst other Russians, I guess thats cool. Or if you need a translation of something that doesn't come out right in 'your English' then sure, we programmers are an inventive bunch.

Well, any language really. I would be happiest if people used languages to increase communication rather than isolate or funnel it. That way everyone benifits and it makes us a happy international community. [size=9px](Which I'm quite proud of to be honest!

If you guys want to translate any articles featured on PGD, feel free and/or mention it to us and we can see aout hosting translated versions in the near future. I like that idea if people find that to be valuable...?

Well, the main problem I have is folks who are discussing something that might be relevant or a tutorial in another language, because automated translations leave alot to be desired.

I know a few snippets of various languages, but I can't really converse in anything but English. I've thought of taking Spanish back up, but I dunno right now. *shrug*

Maybe summarize the discussion in English if it's something that might be handy?

Spanish is almost totally phonetic so I found it quite easy to learn, in comparison to French.
I started learning Chinese about a year ago, now that is very different from Latin based languages, due to it's tonality. But if you approach it as if you are learning to sing a song, I think it it's learnable.
