Chinese Forum?

Post by zilolo »

I've been going through the FT forum recently and i've noticed that theres several different forum's specifically made for a language (For example, a french forum)
I was hoping there'd be chinese, unfortunately, there isn't.

I was wondering whether there was plans for the chinese forum to be added later? Or it that it's not going to be added in at all for a reason.

Typically, a forum is added when the community gets large enough to warrant one, and we have official translators to support it.
Looking at a couple of the forums, it seems some may have died off a bit over time.
But some are frequented. Still, the English area will always get the most attention, sadly.

If the Chinese community gets large enough, sure, it would be a welcomed addition.
But I only know of maybe 4 Chinese players at the most.
If translations are made for various rules and help, sure, they are included here somewhere (rules in languages without forums are posted in those rules, for example).

For now though, there is very little to offer Chinese players.
If someone were interested in doing translations, they should contact Gandalf by forum PM. Perhaps, this could even bring more players in.
Keep in mind though, we will use common services like Google Translate when necessary in an attempt to communicate.
Although it's not perfect, it's better than nothing.
