aide pour un nouveau

@Nex__2S
Hello can you speak any English at all? Its just English is mainly spoken here and it would it help us to help you.

Bonjour pouvez-vous parler anglais? Son anglais est principalement parlé ici et cela nous aiderait à vous aider

@wadebear i will help anyone but what is wrong with asking people to speak English? Most people use their native tongue at first and when asked they speak English. If the person can’t speak English then if they post in their language that they can’t then I’ll ask them if they could use a translation to help. Oh I’m not the only one to ask. There have been others.

@tstonumberonefan your statement is ok with a proper hello. I don't find it rude at all.

Because it's rude.

It is not rude. Others have done so in the past so why haven’t you said anything before now?

@168sean168 thanks. I do try to ask as politely as I can.

There are a couple issues with extended threads in a language other than English.
First the forum rules state:"Post in the language of the forum". EA's forum, EA's rules

I never mind if a question is posted in another language and a quick answer given. I can even live with an answer given in the other language with the English translation

Extended other language threads are rude. It has nothing to do with exclusion or any other politics. It's just rude. Google translate works both ways. When I go somewhere that the language is different I do everything I can to communicate in their language.
Many people who post here in another language are unaware this is an English forum, and most try to communicate the best they can.
My big question is... Why is this such an issue? We are here to share and help each other. Be safe, be kind, be caring.

I am quite happy to use google translate and reply in English to any queries. @johncolombo Would you agree that this would be the best course of action for any non-English posts?

hello, first of all sorry to have written in french. actually google automatically translates the forums into my language. so I hadn't paid attention ...

So you advise me to take a maximum of house to raise my city?

@Nex__2S
No problem and I’m very sorry for all the hassle caused. I want you to know I didn’t mean to be rude in asking for you to speak English I was only trying to help.

Most excitement around here in a while :)
