GnarlsDarkley Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Because we have different sub forums for several languages: https://forums.warframe.com/forum/109-international-forums/ If there is no one for your language you can use the english one but may get a response you don't like Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yamazuki Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 International forums with several languages are at the bottom of the main page. If any language could be posted anywhere, it would make the language specific categories pointless; unless your language isn't there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

KnossosTNC Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 (edited) In the name of the forum itself? The assumption here, with some real-world merit, is of English being the standard lingua franca among Warframe players. Most posters here are either native English speakers, or unlikely to know other languages but their own and English. A Thai player is unlikely to know German, but will have some familiarity with English, for example. It's really for everyone's convenience. Post in the your language-specific forums, and you're more likely to get replies in your language. Otherwise, post here in English, and you're more likely to get more useful replies here too. Less people scratching their heads and fumbling about with Google Translate. Please don't turn this into any more than what it is.

Guest Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Everyone making threads in their own native language would just make things annoying for everyone. Other major languages have their own subforums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WhiteMarker Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 So let's get this straight. OP doesn't speak English. Because of that he made a thread in German in the English part of the forum so that DE has to translate the German post in order for them to understand what OP is talking about. That's really the way to go. Yeah... absolutely nothing wrong with that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DE is in Ontario. That's... strange. Coming from ex-Yugoslavia (though this goes for most of Europe), it's been a standard for over 80 years already that people over here study Serbo-Bosno-Croatian (in the sense of intense grammar-cramming), Latin for two years, and two foreign languages (used to be obligatory French, and a choice between German, Russian, English; today it's obligatory English, and a choice between German and French). I myself speak SBC, English, some German (forgot it mostly though), and study Japanese (as in, on a professional, literary/translatory level) for a future living. I can understand some written French and Italian, and in general understand Romance languages because of Latin words in English and a two-year intense course in Latin. It's like... pretty normal to be bi- or tri-lingual anywhere in Europe and Asia. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oreades Posted August 17, 2019 Share Posted August 17, 2019 Hell people have just been dumping suggestions/feedback in general with more and more frequency these days anyhow, lets just lump all the languages on earth into general too. Who needs order and usability. Lets just get rid of all the sub forums and just have one general forum and hey everyone just be tri-lingual~ problem solved~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Well, again, English is established as widely used lingua franca, so native English speakers have less an incentive to be proficient in other languages. It's not that they never learned these languages, it's more that they seldom use them. Disuse causes skill to deteriorate. I speak as someone who basically grew up in an English boarding school that taught French as mandatory curriculum. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
