Proof not needed. Trillions of kids from all over the world that are non-English native speakers know how to say:

🤬 , 🤬 , 🤬 and also 🤬 Oh, I forgot, they know 🤬 too
 
Plus I would like to point out that why some would see fit to have conversations in there own language alright, That would be very hard for others who may want to join in the discussions by not knowing what the heck is any one on about.:D (Thats if we don,t know your native tongue?)
So its not just a moderator thing its also a universal language that bonds so many together in these forums?
Chat soon bye for now.:)

Really? Where's your proof?

I had to learn French that way.
I had to learn Turkish that way.
I had to learn Czech that way.

It's working...more or less. In most languages.

To be honest, I was a bit shocked when I came to France and my then new employer asked me if I'd like to have a language course. I was glad about the offer and since the teacher was a fellow employee, it was all pretty easy and in the same building, too. However, with only 2-3 hours a week it was a bit difficult to make progress - so my teacher (he really is a teacher and started working for a private company to have more time for his children for a few years) invited me to join him and his friends in Battlefield and other online games. Well, they weren't too polite (just like gamers are) - completely unlike you'd expect the French to be.
 
I would love this. Though we could have like Learn Language (sub)forums. Then we could have other languages hopefully!

100th post!

Not very surprising, considering I once heard on the radio that the French are the unfriendliest nation in the world followed by the Germans :D

Found that a bit weird at first after studying German, which appeared to be a largely polite language. You learn something new everyday huh...

Unfriendliest nation? I didn't knew the French were so anti-social...
 
They think that the French and Germans are worse than North Koreans? :odd:

Talk about stereotyping.

Now don't you think it's stupendously antidisestablishmentarianistic that we can ALL discuss the supercalifragilisticexpialidocious nature of humaninty using ONE language?
 
The fact that North Koreans are brainwashed into thinking their leader is godly doesn't make them unfriendly.

Makes sense. Definitely something worth discussing.

On topic: Like many people said, GTP would need a boatload of moderators that speak several languages fluently. That would be a pain to find experienced members which speak multiple languages.

From what I have studied on Nazi Germany the chances are the North Koreans are not brainwashed they just know they will be shot if they behave otherwise.

But thats a different topic.

I wouldn't be that sure about that, it's a bit different from Nazi Germany.

As my final offtopic touch, a North Korean joke: A Finn, a Swede and Kim Jong Il played golf. Kim Jong Il won.

Also I'm supporting a native language sub-forum, I feel I'm sucked into being just one amongst the masses when I'm limited to using English only. :(
 
Ik wiste wat ik wilde zeggen maar...

I know what I want to say but....

Oh, and for the record German people are very friendly. They've got good senses of humour, too. I can't judge the French because I don't personally know French people and I've never been tp France, but Germans are fine. And the Dutch.

tp France

That's not very nice. :p

Also, everyone knows the Germans have a good sense of humor. They like the Hoff...

I think we've dissected this topic enough to put it to bed but I'd like to wait for Jordan's (updated) comments to remove any doubt. And to give me something to quote the next time this topic comes up. :lol:
 
To echo my previous comments, I need to be able to understand everything that's posted on the site without the need to wait on anyone or depend on any translation service. There are several great regional GT forums out there, like Amar's Croatian GTSurgeons, that do a good job of serving international GT fans who may not be able to read or write in English, so I don't feel any obligation to host foreign language discussions here.

Thanks for giving my the direct link to that forum, I'll definitely give it a look into. 👍
