All I want to know if their is any interest at all for Forums which have their OWN language to ask questions
e.g. a Dutch Forum, German Forum, Czech Forum, French Forum, etc..
I voted 'No' as I think it will shatter the information too much. IMHO.
Even if I'm a proud bearer of my language, I woudln't see myself making queries in different languages, and this forum relly heavily on queries at first...

I agree with Styno.
Only way for this to get working properly is to have someone translating it to english, which means a lot of work.
Well, I would like to change or expand question like this: "or would you like to help others using your native language?"
The idea of any forum is to help others, not just to ask your own questions.
Edit: Probably we need yet another poll.
Multilingual is OK as long as there is proper automatic translation available, prefer English though.

I think English portal on chupa si sufficient, but it would be more interestring to play with the idea of having web interface being portet to as much languages.
We're interestring in that particular job and could do it.
The idea is to have config files organized in a tree fashion and internalisation sentences in one file, which other users can customize.
The problem in with constant customization of firmwares where there is a nened for constant improvements and adding of features and the change of intereface which is getting more and more complicated as we go along.

I fully agree so I voted NO as well.
searching the net for "special problems" I often found results...but in languages i wasn't able to speak/read.
So I often had to ask for translations.
IT is full of english ... I don't think it would be useful to use multiple langs.
I prefer bad english than not understanding anything
