Title: Other Language Forums at CelticsBlog
Post by: Bob Day on March 24, 2007, 12:47:53 AM
We are interested in knowing how many members here would be interested in some CelticsBlog discussion forums in languages other than English. We know we have a number of members and visitors who enjoy another tongue as their primary language. We know too that many of our international members and visitors are quite fluent in English, but also that some struggle with our language a bit and yearn for discussions here in their own, first languages.

We also know that many of our visitors speak little or no English at all. We see this in how often our auto-translators are used (that's what the little flags at the very top left of every page here are for--in case some of you didn't know). Having automatic, site wide language translation available here for several languages is a nice feature. Those translations are "read only" though and somewhat awkward at times in how they render our often grammar-free, slangy English into other languages.

Given those realities, we would like some feedback on this inquiry from some of our existing, other language/international members. Understand that, although we don't need large numbers of people initially interested in order to justify creating a "foreign" language forum here at CB, we will need at least one, if not two or more bilingual (Other and English), trustworthy forum moderators of our choosing who would be willing to help us manage each language forum we create here. Naturally, it may take some time for us to determine how best we may go about this or even if it is something doable. It won't hurt for us to consider it though and the best way to do that is to begin talking about it.

I guess the most common question our strictly English-speaking CelticsBlog members have might have about the prospect of other language forums here would be, "Why?" Well, there are a number of reasons and we'll talk about those more when we can make the time. For now we though, we want to limit discussion in this topic to hearing from as many of you who are interested, in how one or more other language forums might benefit some of our non-English members and visitors as well as the English-speaking CelticsBlog community in general.

This will be an open, ongoing discussion with no time limit. We invite your thoughts on this.

I would definitely be intrested in the creation of forums in languages other than English. My own recommendation would be a forum in Spanish. From what I read in the "Celticsblog International???" thread, Spaniards ranked 4th in traffic last month after Canada, Australia (both English speaking) and the Europen Union. Then, 15 of the other countries listed (including Chile which is from where I come from, but somehow wasn't listed :(...) are spanish-talking nations.

I believe this would be a great step forward for the site. I am more then intrested in discussing stuff with other spanish-talking people and know what they think, wether it's the Celtics, basketball in general, or anything else, and get to know them a little thanks to this great place.

Good move guys. I was hoping this would happen someday. It brings an added value to the blog, and international posters contribute for a wider perspective of things being discussed, no doubt of that.

Good to see you here Edgar. I would love for you to be a part of a Spanish forum at CelticsBlog. I'm hoping Requilla and marseye (French Guadalupe) can make their way over here soon also.

Love this initiative. it would bring international people to chat with us which would, obviously, increase our knowledge in regards to international prospects.

Yes, I think we could learn much about the players, coaches, teams and leagues, as well as how the game is managed and played internationally. By the same token, it might provide similar opportunities to our international friends with regard the Celtics, NBA and NCAA basketball. All in all, it seems something we might all get a lot from.

Of course, it would just plain be a whole lot of fun too! :D

I'd like a French forum, although I think participation would be limited, and Spanish would be way more popular.  Of course, if we're going to get obscure, let's get a Croatian forum too...I know there's at least one other person on this blog that would agree on that one...

marseye would probably enjoy a French forum as would some of our friends at Celtics France as well. Some of the forums might take a little time to come together but, I think we are on the right track.

One important subject related to the discussion of us setting up other language forums here at CelticsBlog is character encoding. This is fairly complex territory and I won't get into much other than to mention that CelticsBlog is setup to use ISO8859 character coding versus Unicode. What that means is that CelticsBlog can render most western or "latin" languages quite well, but is currently unable to correctly render the many written languages around the world that require very special characters sets or RTL (right to left) rendering, etc.

All of the languages we've mentioned so far (with the possible exception of Croatian--which may be Cyrillic) as well as many others can be handled well by CB at this time. Many though, such as Russian, Arabic, Hebrew, Japanese, Chinese, Korean, Hindu, etc. cannot. In order for us to do those languages as well as other, non-latin ones, we'll need to convert all major software here to Unicode. In particulary, we would need to convert it to UTF-8.

Currently the main issue is to the fact that the Joomla main site is completely based on ISO8859 encoding whereas the SMF forums, although based on ISO8859, can be converted to UTF-8. The problem lies in that, if I convert SMF to UTF-8, it will break the strong integration we currently have between Joomla and SMF. The problem is not completely insurmountable though. CelticsBlog v.4.0 is already in the works and it will be entirely based on Unicode. It is my hope that we will be able to move into CB v.4 before Draft Day this year. We'll see.

BTW, never fear. We won't be stressing everyone out in the next site version with any change as dramatic as our last major CB upgrade. The most powerful changes in the next CelticsBlog will be "under the hood" so to speak. They will make the site faster, more secure and even way more powerful than I'll even mention here, but the user experience itself will change little other than it possibly becoming more enjoyable.

So, I wanted to tell you all a little bit about this current limitation on language forums we have and mention that we will be resolving it sitewide in the future. Meanwhile, I'll see if it is possible for me to convert the forums to UTF-8 without breaking our site integration.

you know the irony of this forum is the fact that I suffer from a bad case of monolingualism

my mom speaks 4 languages but none of that rubbed off on me

she used to yell at me for being able to memorize sports stats but not being able to remember spanish vocabulary words - my response was that I didn't really have to TALK to Fernando Venezuela, so what do I care?

I know, I'm terrible, I can't help it, I'm a big dumb Americano

Pienso que tiene mucha promesa. (perdone mi español pobre)

It is starting to look like the Spanish will be the first to arrive at CelticsBlog with their own forum and thereby repeat history in a small way. I would soon expect other languages to follow their lead. :D

Ahora  lo que considero la mayor ventaja de un Foro en espanol ( la Ironia es que mi teclado no tiene la enye)
es que ahora si podre hacer posts tan largos como los de MikeDfromNP y probablemente expresar mejor mi Universal e increiblemente extenso  ;) conocimiento del basquetball, asi la gente no creera que escribo post cortos para aumentar el numero de post unicamente, cuando la verdadera razon es que muchas veces me cohibo por la complejidad de la redaccion y las fallas en el lenguaje ingles.

Sí, entiendo exactamente lo que usted dice. Tiene sentido. Pienso que veremos nuevos foros del idioma de maneras nos puede beneficiar todo.

Edgar is telling us that some people may think he writes so many short posts because he is trying to rack up a high post count, but actually it is because he often finds it difficult to express his incredibly extensive knowledge of basketball :D due to the complexity of translating his thoughts from Spanish to English.

Edgar has a very good sense of humor.

Podríamos utilizar a otro mediador para el foro español aunque Edgar y yo probablemente lo pueda manejar un rato. ¿Dónde está Requila? ¿Demasiado listo meterse?

Je suis optimiste que nous aurons quelque plus d'intérêt dans un forum français.

Penso che la prospettiva di un foro italiano eccita molto! Abbiamo bisogno di un moderatore e più persone interessate.

Wo sind unsere Deutsch?

Bob, donde aprendistes a escribir el espanol tan bien? Te felicito. Si me permites, quiero ayudarte para que tu espanol sea aun mejor. En vez de "usted no puede esconder, Reyquila", es "usted no puede esconderse, Reyquila." If you feel bad about this correction, please let me know and Ill refrain from it in the future. Im like Monk in this discipline, I love to help people right mistakes so they learn to be a little better. Its in so many few things that I can help other people, that I always try to help those that are dealing with the tough Spanish language. Some may like it, some may not, so please lay down some blog rules on this matter. Gracias.

Rey, Gracias para corregir mi gramática. Mi español sufre, pero sé que estoy en manos. Espero su instrucción futura.

Debemos hablar de reglas de blog. Una cosa que necesitamos hacer es traduce nuestro CelticsBlog "anunciando las reglas" a español. No hay apuro en esto. Tengo una nueva enmienda para ellos yo agregaré mañana. No tiene nada que ver con nuestro foro español de idioma. ¿Es para... cómo se dice en español, Edgar (el maestro de lo profano español)? "Edited.  Profanity and masked profanity are against forum rules and may result in discipline.s" en los foros.

I would love to see you involved with Edgar and I managing a new Spanish language forum here at CelticsBlog, Requila. "Gringo Intimidator" has a nice ring to it! We should also come up with a good title for Edgar. As for me, I will settle for "He of Bad Spanish Who Has No Clue."

I will be out for a good portion of tomorrow, but now that we have two trustworthy volunteers to help with forum moderation, I will begin the process of setting up an new Spanish forum here at CelticsBlog.

I'll be providing you both with a new level of access to this website that will allow you to interact with our other site moderators. We will also setup our new Spanish forum with its own moderator board so that Spanish-specific discussions related to forum moderation may be carried out there. It will be open to other site moderators as well.

I would also like for you and Edgar to think about this. We can categorize the Spanish forum much the same way that the current CelticsBlog forums are categorized. We can do that by creating what we call "child" boards that would reside under the "mother" Spanish board. In this way, we can establish a set of sub-forums that best reflect the needs of the Spanish mother forum.

I am very excited about this.

Necesito que Rey o tu  me ayuden  con un par de palabras que no entendi.....
Esta bastante bien traducida...modestia aparte asi que
espero que ayude...Las palabras que no pude traducir o frases estan en glow


Felizmente, Esta comunidad esta  creciendo día a día. Pero con ese crecimiento surge la necesidad de algunas reglas y líneas guías para participar cordialmente entre cada uno de nosotros. Por favor léalas y respetelas.

Guias Generales:

•   Solo una cuenta por persona es  permitida.  Las únicas personas autorizadas a tener múltiples cuentas en el sitio, son los administradores y moderadores, que utilizaran esas cuentas para propósitos de prueba. Cualquier otra persona que sea detectada utilizando cuentas múltiples será expulsado de este sitio Web, si persiste realizando esa acción.

•   Mantengan los mensajes y comentarios en el tema de discusión
•   Todos los mensajes  en los foros deberán ser en ingles, a menos de que estén en exposición en un foro internacional especifico. Si esta colocando un post en un foro internacional, por favor utilice el lenguaje de ese foro y no Ingles.

•   No Astroturf  , ni pretendan ser o representar alguien mas. Su cuenta será borrada si se descubre a alguien violando esta regla.

•   No discuta actividades ilegales. Nuestro servidor esta ubicado en los Estados Unidos de Norte América y por tanto sujeto a las leyes de este país. Por favor no nos exponga a ningún tipo de acusación o demanda legal innecesaria.

•   Revise que sus preguntas no hayan sido respondidas en cualquier otro lugar en el sitio. Use la aplicación de búsqueda ubicada en el sitio principal o la de los foros.

•   Exponga sus comentarios o preguntas en el lugar mas apropiado. Cualquier post que se encuentre en el foro equivocado, será movido. No coloque la misma pregunta en multiples lugares.

•   Estén seguros de que han leído el articulo madre, completamente antes de publicar una respuesta o comentario del mismo.

•   Use sus propias palabras. Si quieres hacer uso de las palabras de alguien mas, refiérete a ellas citando el autor. El plagio no es ético y es ilegal en muchos países.

•   Escoge un tema apropiado. Trata de resumir el problema brevemente en el titulo y desarróllalo en el mensaje. Repite el titulo en el mensaje si eso hará las cosas mas claras. No use todas mayúsculas y no añadan información falsa solo para lograr atención (ejemplo. Lean esto o serán arrestados;) un ejemplo de un mal tema puede ser “AYUDENME”. Un buen tema puede ser, “ Foo rashes when i do bar”

•   Incluya tanta información como pueda cuando este buscando por ayuda. Esto puede incluir  logs and command line output . Nadie estara en posición de ayudarlo si usted no da suficiente detalle.

•   Haga las preguntas de la manera inteligente. Lea esto:
     http://www.catb.org/~Eesr/faqs/smart-questions.html by Eric Raymond.

•   No haga comentarios ni post inútiles, de una línea, ataque a un tema especifico, etc, etc, etc.

•   Antes de crear un nuevo tópico, por favor revise, para estar seguro de que no esta colocado previamente. Si uno ya existe siéntanse libres de reabrir esa discusión colocando su opinión. Esto incluye también nuevos tópicos que son relevantes a discusiones que ya existen (Ejemplo. Todos los comentarios de un juego especifico, pertenecen a la discusión del juego mismo)

•   Si usted conoce un intercambio de jugadores o un rumor del draft que quiera compartir, por favor hágalo saber tal cual es en el encabezado del tópico de discusión. También, proporcione una fuente en el encabezado y un enlace (si esta disponible) en el mensaje.

•   Si tienes una  idea de intercambio o de draft  que quiere compartir, identifíquelo como tal en el encabezado del tópico de discusión.

•   Trate de no usar excesivamente las mayúsculas y los signos de puntuación en sus mensajes, tal como Grez Kite ES el mejor CELTIC de Todos Los Tiempos!!!!!!!!!! Esto no es necesario independientemente de cuanto le guste Grez Kite.

•   Sobre todo trate de mantener la madurez en el nivel de los mensajes, y tenga en mente que este debería ser un lugar al que usted quisiera volver diariamente y compartirlo con sus amigos.

•   Todas las discusiones en los foros deben de ser meritorias de su propio tópico. Discusiones irrelevantes y de poca importancia serán cerradas o borradas por un moderador.

•   Agradézcale al que le ayuda. El reconocimiento de una sugerencia no solo le agradara a quien le ayudo, también puede ayudar a otros con problemas similares. Todos aquellos que han sido utilizados en este foro están invitados a ayudar a otros usuarios respondiendo a sus preguntas, si conocen la respuesta y /o consideran apropiado colaborar con el proyecto.

•   No coloque enlaces a ningún sitio que contenga contenido para adultos, material referente a sexo, o será de otra forma considerado ofensivo. Cualquier mensaje que contenga un enlace inapropiado será borrado y el usuario recibirá una advertencia.

Conspiración Enfocada a generar danos:  

•   Ningún miembro o visitantes del sitio tienen permitido, ni  individualmente ni colectivamente, a usar CelticBlog para conspirar para el lanzamiento no autorizado ( Entiendase, sin aprobación formal de CelticBlob y su estaff) y/o colaboraciones ilegales, encuentros, demostraciones, protestas y otras actividades equivalentes. Esto incluye actividades que potencialmente pueden resultar en danos  y/o perdidas físicas, mentales, emocionales, espirituales, financieras, domesticas, organizacionales, cívicas, culturales u otras.

Enlaces:•   Puede insertar web, correo y/o enlaces ftp a un mensaje, o comentario del blog, sin embardo no puede insertar enlaces de , warez , de ****, a los esquemas phishing o a cualquier otra actividad ilegal. El hacer tal cosa,  provocara su expulsión  de este sitio web y  ser reportado a las a las autoridades

Here's a few possibilities...

thesaurus = tesauro?

script = escritura or manuscrito? (This actually references high level programming languages. Since English is the reference language for all programming, "scripts" might suffice here. In other words, anyone who would understand the reference to scripts would understand the meaning of the word rendered in English.)

enlaces de , warez , de ****, a los esquemas phishing o (Rey may have some input on this, but once again, this is another example of words that are related to technology that are universal for the most part.)

smilies (smiley and smilies are also fairly universal. Unless there are common Spanish variations on these, we could probably just use them as they are.)

“ Foo rashes when i do bar” (Another technical reference that is fairly universal.)

logs and command line output (Two other fairly universal technical references.)

draft (This one is tough for me. It does not refer to beer, a breeze or an uncompleted work. Perhaps "selección". What do you think?)

The only thing I have to say to Edgar and Rey is, you guys better keep posting on the main boards, as well!  You guys are a big part of the blog, and definitely add to the enjoyment of it, so make sure you continue to make your presence felt with all of us exclusively English-speaking folks.

Thanks CelticS 86. It is true that we are taking this project seriously. Integrating other language forums into any website presents special challenges. We are trying to get it right.

The key ingredient of course is having good people to help with the setup and management, and in this respect, we couldn't have better partners than Edgar and Reyquila. It is a pleasure working with them on this endeavor. They are bright and articulate, and have wonderful senses of humor. Both are also good communicators who understand the value of good teamwork.

I believe those qualities will help make the Spanish forum successful. I also believe the lessons we learn as we run the Spanish forum will better prepare us for adding other language forums if enough interest is shown to warrant adding those. In that sense, the Spanish forum will serve as a model for others in time.

I need for you and Reyquila to look over the "Lea Esto Primero: Las reglas de la Composición" post I made in the new forum and help me adjust it if needed. Otherwise, we have the beginning of our new Spanish forum! I will be setting up some additional things for it later today.

A note on non-English languages coming in the next version of CelticsBlog. With CB5 we will once again have auto-translations of pages via Google Translations. More importantly we will be moving from ISO-8859 character encoding to UTF-8. This will make it possible for us support the majority of the world's languages in their native formats (most characters + left to right, right to left, top to bottom...whatever).

In turn, I'm looking at making it possible for our members to choose their language of choice for the CelticsBlog interface. This won't translate everything in the site, articles for example, but it would translate the majority of the basic site elements visitors encounter here and thus probably make it easier for some to understand what means what around here.

Most of all, it may prove to be of especially nice help for members here who might prefer to do some blogging in their non-English, native or otherwise preferred languages. Yes, I said blogging -- in the sense of what we do on the main page and our main blogs here currently. CB5 will provide a community directory, a community blog and micro-blogs complete with a commenting system for all members.

As for extending our forums to encompass other languages beyond English with dedicated boards, all we need is the interest and a good person or two who is/are at least bilingual (with one language being English) and fluent in the proposed language forum to help us look after discussions in those areas.

Wo sind unsere Deutsch?

Actually its "Wo sind unsere deutschen Fans" ;D.

Im new to the Forums so i dont know how many germans are in here. Basketball is on the rise in Germany after Dirk got his ring and a major soccer team got now a basketball team in the "Basketball Bundesliga" (FC Bayern Munich). In europe soccer will always be #1 but when a soccer team aquires a basketball department is very huge for the specific basketball leauge and the bball itself.

In the upcoming years basketball will become the sport #2 behind soccer, but its gonna take a while at least in Germany.

For the language part. I understand i'd say 95% of the english posts. My speaking/writing skills are ok i guess, but thats why i'm here. I want to improve my grammar skills and try to write more often english. I think there is no better way to improve my english skills with a good old basketball conversation.
