Hm. If we start thinking globally, there are a ton of popular languages that could be featured on the PogoTribe. Maybe we can make sub-forums for people to converse in their own language with other native / bilingual speakers? It'd make them feel more welcome.
I dunno, just a thought, as opposed to having a million different forums for every language. xD
If you just do a few, though, I have no problem with it.

lol I've been wanting to suggest this for a long time.
The only problem was that I haven't seen enough people who speak spanish in the tribe or a way to reach those outside dan's subscribers.
Still, It would be much less complicated for me if this was all in spanish. I tend to convey ideas much easier on my first language. ;D

And that's probably why we haven't seen any (or many) people speaking Spanish here; they see it's all in English, so they post in English, or they don't post at all.

We could make a ONE sub-forum where people can make threads in non-english languages? and then other people can react in the same language etc.
EDIT: This idea could also make the PogoTribe more attractive to people who don't really contribute because they believe their english isn't good enough to post or could be understood by others..
Instead they could post threads in a language they are much better and then someone who has better english/other-language skills can repost the idea globally in the englishspeaking threads/topics ?

That's a pretty good idea. Although, people who don't speak English and come to the site would probably be scared away by all the English and not even bother to look in sub-forums that can't be seen on the home page. But still. Are you suggesting there be a sub-board for every board?

Then how would a non-english speaker notice that one forum in particular? We can't write it in all lanuguages, that would take up too much room. I think multiple subforums is the way to go.

Dunno if that's better.. but I just suggested that we have 1 subboard somewhere or even a normal board where members can just post threads in (no specific language), whether they just wanna chat, post ideas or ask to translate something and that they just use this kinda format for their topic titles: "[Language abbreviation] topic title" eg.: "[NED] Nederlands praathoekje" [/2cents]

Hm, well I really don't know. The admins will be discussing it, they said, during their next Skype call, so I'm sure they'll decide what's best - a completely new forum or simple sub-boards on this forum.

What if we make a thread on the front page for a language. If enough people are posting we get one of them to represent that part of the forum, so their ideas are still heard by admins and Dan, and they can be as much part of the community as anyone else.

By the way, I already have some people that will help me designing the web and the forum and we are trying to figure out how to pay for the host and we also wanted to buy some ads. But until we finish up the idea we won't start working on the site. I was thinking that once the spanish site is done Dan could mention it on a video or tweet or something, that would be really helpful. PS: I've just checked out the Triad sistem, it's absolutely awesome.

If you are saying that I plan to translate posts from SPOTM and post them in anohter site you are completely wrong. If you are saying that a user suggestion on this thread was to translate ALL of the post, I'm not completely sure, but I think you are wrong to. And if I missunderstood, sorry, I'm wrong ;D

One subforum, multiple language threads. Each thread must have a tag before the name. So each country would have a tag [DE] German [ES] Spain [IT] Italy [FR] France [NL] Netherlands [BE] Belgium [SE] Sweden [NO] Norway [DK] Denmark etc. etc.
We can start out by creating a new sub forum called Non-English, and a thread for General Discussion for each language.... if we see there is a large demand for one language then they can break out and create a separate sub forum for them.

It's turning more and more confusing, I think that what you say is what I'm saying, Basicly I want to do a spanish site based on Pogo Tribe.

Yes, that's exactly what I'm thinking you tried explaining.. for the confusing part, I'm see that we've different and all great ideas in this threads so.. You want to make a spanish SPOTM others are discussing a language-subforum on THIS SPOTM

Howabout a new non-english board, and a subforum for the languages? Unless that's too much trouble. I'm familiar with the proboards layout and i know you can make it so they can't make posts on the board itself so then only the subboards can be posted in. There would need to be a moderator though that understood every language ever unfortunately... oh well, just an idea.

Oh, one thing, I need to talk to an Admin or someone of high rank, because I have some questions, and the answers must be answered by someone who knows a lot about PogoTribe and it's organization. Who should I ask those questions ?I mean, to wich admin ?
