Hmmm...

@sabretooth - I can see your point...However...It is unfair to call all brits and yanks ignorant - I myself am learning two foreign languages for A Level, and am considering learning Spanish after I go to university, where I plan to study German to Degree level...

Secondly...I am sure that if you spoke Spanish as a first language, that you would want a spanish vBulletin site as opposed to an English vBulletin site, as you would an English site as a fluent English over a Spanish one...

@amy - That is true - I am sure though, that if someone asked you if they could translate your hack into their own native language, for use on an Official vBulletin foreign site, that you would agree? I guess if they are really an official vBulletin site, they would remove the hack if it is your wish

@Anthony - Cheers I am all for Globalisation and Languages

I don't think there should be any with the language capabilities of vb3... Long as there are a team of translators i believe there is no need for a foreign support site.

I think there should be translations of the software. Even know I personaly am good in several languages(which include french, spanish and a bit of german[I'm not that great in any of them though]) I would love to see a site like this come into exsistence.

The problem with creating an "official" French site is that if the admins and mods do not conduct themselves properly or if the hacks and support suck then Jelsoft gets a bad reputation. The existing French board got off on the wrong foot by taking copyrighted material and posting it on their site. Therefore, I can fully understand Jelsoft's hesitation to make them official. However, I am still unclear as to why the French cannot open their forums in an unofficial capacity and just not post our work without our permission?

Because they could be interpreted as an official vBulletin site, and like you say, if their support sucks, Jelsoft get a bad reputation

So, you or I could not start a forum discussing vbulletin hacking because it might be seen as an "official" site?

well most sites nowadays that discuss vb and only vb related stuff seem to be thought of as official for some reason. Unless it is shown that the site is unofficial people may take it as official, and u probably get my point

the official german site is much more than a place where you talk german.
the wholy license things has to be portet over, you can buy vb there with other payment methods than on vb.com.

also the full support is in german, which can help a lot of people which don't speak english very well.

but that's also the point why it's hard to become an official site. the difference in laws and so on.

Maybe I should start an "official" Aussie vB site.

The issue of the copying of hacks is a real one though. However, the French vB admins are doing the right thing by asking for permission from the hackers here before copying the hacks.
