I've added support for Portuguese to our forums. Smile

If someone can find a way to let Scorpion know...he may actually try to chat with us. Laughing

BTW...this will not change what language he would see our posts, they will be in English still. It will however, use the new language for most common forum descriptions and titles etc. All of the graphics will be in Portuguese also ONLY if the Subsilver theme is used.

So...someone go try and tell him...I've done my part. Very Happy

I checked it out...and almost couldn't find my way back. Confused



Laughing

i wish more could be altered by the language change cause i just did it to see what it was like, and i dont see this being able to get him to post on here. it would help him navigate some, but he still would have no idea what the different forums, threads, or us said or meant lol. but something is better than nothing Laughing Good Idea

Agreed tiger...only navigation and familiar graphics (subsilver theme only), but it's a start. I had trouble navigating through it and couldn't wait to get out. Laughing

Perhaps we can start with small sentences like...hi, I Scorpion, I play tfc. Very Happy

Any reliable translators <web based> out there that anyone likes Question

no web translator does anything about grammar at all so they kinda tend to suck if the languages differ in sentence structure at all

while that is true, i actually was semi communicating with scorpion the other night using google translation. i would translate a sentence i wanted to say/ask and he would type back and i would translate it etc. i would say it wasn't half bad. is it going to be perfect, no. but it was ok enough that i was able to understand what he was saying/trying to say and vice versa(btw scorpion is 20 years old, i devised that from the conversation. lol i had no idea he was that old).

i actually have this greasemonkey firefox plugin that translates a web page from a certain language to english and opens it in another tab and you can choose what web translation site to use and i use google translation and it works fairly well, i can navigate foreign websites(i had to do this constantly when searching for my hl2 problem i had awhile back) so praps if there was a way to incorporate it or something into the forums?

This FireFox plug-in is rather interesting:

Our forums using this plug-in:

Again, can't tell if it's doing a good job or not...but, it looks okay. Smile
