Please excuse some dust while we work with adding some language specific links and forums. We have had numerous requests for language specific forums and have worked on some partnerships with existing communities and building our own language forums for certain languages. It’s finally starting to come together and we hope to be able to enable the entire worldwide openSUSE community eventually.
Of course starting this foray into the multiple language world, the gnomes that work on the infrastructure here are just getting their feet wet so we hope it’s not too disruptive to you folks while they learn and work on it.
We were actually throwing around the idea of integrating something like Google translator a few months back. In doing some testing and talking to some folks who’s native language was something other than English the consensus was it wasn’t worth the bother because the translations of the technical messages weren’t good enough to be understood.

I agree with the google translator - it works fine as long as you have a
some basic understanding of the language to fix the mistakes.
But I think a bit of tolerance is required for people who post in other
languages and perhaps that if the poster posts the question in both the
original language and the translated English, we’ll all get the gist of
it and be able to help out.
That way we can all gain from each others knowledge.

“great minds” and all that…

just guessing, but if i know anything about google it is that they are
always looking for ways to make their product better than any other’s…
if hooked directly in they might be willing to let an approved set of
us help with ‘teaching’ their translator db better phrase recognition
in context so that technical phrases got correctly (rather than
directly) translated…
hmmmm…it is a huge undertaking…forget it.
for example, translate this sentence into a language you know to see
if you have to then imagine a game with players slamming a Seagate
Barracuda into a goal:
“Ice hockey requires a hard disk of vulcanized rubber.”
These are great news. I would be nice - from my perspective - to have just one big openSUSE forum, used by all the worldwide users, with all the languages.
As you can see, there already are some language specific subforums. Me too, I support the idea of getting the community all together. Though I know it makes it even harder to keep all satisfied.
Some forum moderator which reads this, please add an external link to the openSUSE romanian community forum (in the Language Specific Forums category):
