Foreign Language Support

[Seito4Counter]

Will this forum ever support other alphabets, like cyrillic or japanese?

Well you can translate GTP to a few different languages here, but it dosen't look like Cyrillic or Japanese is included.

Don't know if that's what you wanted so, Meh.

 

[Seito4Counter]

Yeah, I mean will the forum ever support posting with other scripts.

I'm pretty sure that the GTP server can support everything in basic ASCII (the text-language, I think), so basically any of the characters you can have in Windows without the additional Language things can be seen here. If you want to see a full list of the characters, go to the start menu>programs>accessories>system tools>character map.

But that is the character map on my PC, not the one sitting on the server. Allow me to demonstrate. äåíë.

No, I'm sorry but this is to remain an English site.

 

[Jpec07]

Ah, ¿Por qué no podemos hablar en una otra lengua aquí? No me importa mucho, solo quiero saber...

 

[Seito4Counter]

Yeah me too, it seems limiting somewhat.

It would be impossible for me and the moderators to moderate, help, or support anyone who couldn't speak English. And before anyone suggests it, no I would not give someone moderator powers just because they can speak a foreign language. I want to be able to understand everything said on my website.

Well, that works (darnit! No more spanish for me then, I guess...)
