Links to forums / websites in different languages?

Post by Emdek »

I didn't know where to post it so I'm putting it here...
What do you think about placing somewhere links to unofficial Warzone forums / pages? There are at least websites in German, Polish and Russian. Maybe as redirections on bottom of forum?
This should not affect forum attendance but can some users.

Problem mostly solved for now lol

Also Google's Chrome browser has a built in translation engine that will prompt you if the language of the site differs from the language of your operating system. Ergo, a site in Spanish viewed on Google Chrome on a computer using US English as its language, will pop a blue toolbar saying the site is in Spanish and if you would like to translate it to English. The same holds true for many other languages.

Not solved at all this way. :-P

It's not for creating new versions but to link existing ones which is done now.

well as long as shakespeare dun feel like turning up and posting a 3 page soliloquy I think were mostly all set.... cept of course the rules threads which are always long but overlooked none the less. Either way it will all come down translating the main content of the page to diff languages in some way shape or form and i dont know if anyone wants to volunteer for that job

Aren't there free online translator that could do that for you.

EDIT: when you use a link you have to translate what ever page you go to
