Will GBATEMP accept creation of a Group in other languages?

[Eiffel2018]

I just want to create a group for Chinese readers only.
Will GBATEMP accept this?

For thread posting , every foreign language would require an English translation or your post would be deleted

So, how about a thread in discussing group?

 

[godreborn]

just do what @Hayato213 said. it's fine as long as there's a translation.

 

[Eiffel2018]

As you said, translation is easy (especially for readers, not the writers).

I hope GBATEMP can make a change for attaching more people to join here

Since it is a discussing group, they are moderate by the group owner and his moderators
If the owner promise the group discussion talking legally and obey GBATEMP's policy, why not accept it?

Pretty sure you still need to provide a translation, all the groups so far is English.

Not really, just found a Dutch Tempers, but I'm not a member of that private group, I cannot confirm it

And there is a https://gbatemp.net/group/japanese-language-learning.41/info japanese group

All the posts in both those groups are in English or if there is a smattering of non English then there is also a translation into English as per site rules.

This is an interesting question.

On the one hand, we would like to allow it. Groups are supposed to be helping to do things that wouldn't normally be done on the forums.

On the other hand, it would be difficult to moderate. Yes, groups are moderated by the group owner and group moderators. However, they must still abide by the general site rules. If you introduce software piracy or illegal things, it will be difficult for us to moderate it. We don't currently have anyone who speaks Chinese in the staff... at least not well enough to read it fully without a translation tool.

To mitigate the risks, we could allow to create a private group so that its threads will not be found on Google? But the issue would still remain. What if someone posts child porn in some form without links for moderators to click (like instructions or tutorials to access illegal sites) and whatnot?

This is an open question at the moment. I suggest we continue debating it here.

Thanks for your kind reply.

Let's brainstorms, everyone.

I want to create a Chinese group mainly for technology sharing, maybe only discuss cheating or cracking Nintendo Switch.
Why is it mainly aimed at Chinese people? Because I found that some Chinese friends who don't speak English come here to get ideas and share them on their Chinese forums or blogs.
And GBATEMP is the most famous among many forums, and it attracts non-English players to study here. Including me, frankly, most of the knowledge I have learned is from the members of GBATEMP here, so I am here to give back to others Newcomers are very natural.

Why not us Google Translate?

 

[porkiewpyne]

Why not us Google Translate?

Because it doesn't always translate properly misses on nuance and context?

 

[Deleted member 546149]

I mean
It can probably translate piracy based stuff

 

[Costello]

we are having a staff vote & debate right now but it's looking more and more like we will be accepting foreign-language groups.
@Eiffel2018 stay tuned, we should be posting confirmation soon.
