I had an email this evening which got me thinking, so many thanks to the user who sent me it!
With the forums growing as they are and the community becoming more and more international, I may need to look at installing some additional language packs for those who don't know English as well as adding extra discussion forums for other language users.
This would of course require moderators who know these languages well enough to approve posts from non-English speaking users and also to keep an eye on the content of the posts in these other language forums.
There are lots of extra language packs for phpBB so most shouldn't be a problem, although there may be a few lines here and there that will need translating for the forum add-ons (otherwise these will default back to displaying English).
If demand is great I can also look at spending some time adjusting the tracker to work in different languages, as well as the new recipe section. Again, these would require some assistance for translation.
So, this topic is here primarily to judge the interest/need for extra language support here at the forums. Feel free to post your opinions and requests!
...and now, back to working on the recipes section
