OK guys...
I dont wanna offend anyone here or mean to sound nasty!! Id much appreciated it if people can post in English is at all possible? It looks like its the most spoken/read language around and we will all be able to communicate better if you guys can do this.
Please add ur views if u have any.
Thanks....
Love & Peace.

As you know -some problems are regional and does just consern the users in that region. One link in Norvegian today was about E-mail problems with Netcom. Remember that our t68's menu-language is in Norwegian and when we are trying to explain details in the menus it is difficult to translate the menus to English. I don't even know the words they use in the English menus.
But otherways I agree that we should write as much in English as possible.

mhmmm... I don't wanna criticize you for wanting it to be in english or anything, but I just want to point the fact that sometimes, its better off in another language. Hope you understand.

I didnt realise that DONCASTER of all places was a Chinese speaking city!!! DAMN!! Thats sooo cool...  NOT
To all the other people.. yes I totally understand what you guys mean, but how am I to know its about simple or region related things? Ive looked at a few posts and well.. I dont understand it at all, but sorry I didnt realise that it can be something specific to your areas.
Its ok guys.. Its clearer now thinking about it.
Thanks..

I'm not quite sure I agree! In writing, maybe, and there are more chinese people than any other nationality, but the spoken
language differs very much between regions in China even though they share the written language.
So the most commonly spoken and mostly understood language is still english, I think.

I say "viva la difference"  )
Let people post in the language they want and realise that we all live in a world that is thankfully still multicultural and filled with a wide spectrum of weird and wonderful languages. |

You know, this is not the first post requesting that everyone speak in English. And this won't be the last.
At first, it really got my goat that some of us here are speaking in a different language. This is suppose to be an international forum, and that a more "universal" language would be more appropriate like English.
But that was my opinion hundreds of posts ago.
Now, I realize that it doesn't really matter much. Those who converse in non-english native languages aren't too many, and they're probably helping others who have trouble conversing in English.
So now, I just ignore the non-english post and continue to enjoy the other plentiful posts in English instead. |

Remember there is a tendancy to think that people conversing in a foreign language you don't understand are talking about super interesting things that you really should be listening in on. They aren't! This is Esato.com, this is the world forum for t68i envy We do it in many tounges! |

yeah i agree, speak whatever language you want, but try to keep it english!
and even though chinese may the the language spoken by the masses... it isnt the most wide spread language. They only speak chinese in, well, china! English however is spoken the world over, from america to australia, scotland to new zealand. |

But why force Greeks or Turks to use it when they're asking about fellow Greeks or Turks. Why force the Swedes to use English when they debate Swedish consumer law?
You could of course learn another language. (just a friendly suggestion). |

Is it really that important that they speak english, r u wondering if they are talking about you right now?
Mwhahaha.
That whole English debate thing, English is the most widely spoken language, not necessarily the first language. Chinese is the most spoken first language. |
