Suggestion: International/Multi-lingual forum(s).

To everyone who reads this, thank you for taking the time. I believe the time has come that we converge the multi-cultural gap of this forum. Not all of our members maintain the same level of fluency in English. It is also worthy of notice that we have much diversity among the members, for which reason the purpose which the forum will serve is likely to be fruitful. We have members all around the globe. English is an international language, yet Google is also an international conglomerate. I believe it would be in best interest to play our parts in lifting this multi-lingual apartheid. Elliot, if you are reading this, please consider this suggestion and render said forum. You may begin catering provisions with a fundamental 'international' forum. If the forum becomes a success, it will be a wonderful idea to expand it to include additional sub-forums for the languages which are most frequently used in discussions. It would be best for the ulterior growth of GC in subsequent times.

I too support the suggestion Eric. It will help poeple join the forum who shy away because they are not fluent in Enlish. Ultimately it will help the community to grow and have a larger no of members.

It would be very difficult... We would have to have moderators that were extremely fluent in all of the languages supported and English, or translators to communicate with the admins. It would be pretty tough, but worth it.

One thing is for certain is that this should increase peoples language skills.
