...but I still believe it is an insult to restrict users from using their native tongue.
The Official Language of this Website is and always has been English but many do use their own language in comments, this has now got to stop.I have often translated a comment so that all can understand what is being said and this has to be done by using Google but Google is not always 100% accurate in its translation and sometimes a translation has caused offence.Recently in comments to a photograph which were given in a foreign language it was discovered that offensive and obscene words had been used, this is wrong, we should all be able to read a comment and understand what is being said.I know from my long experience with this website that many can read and write the English language, probably in some cases better than I can, so from now on all communications with this website must be in English so that all may be able to read and understand what is being said.This will includeComments to PhotographsComments in the ForumInformation given with an uploadExchange of views between membersAny advice given with regard to a photograph.Any other message that does not conform to the English Language.As from now all comments made in a language other than English will be removed from the website, we have been very tolerant on this in the past but it now has to stop, it is grossly unfair that members should have to translate a message to be able to understand it on an English speaking Website.RegardsKen SmithWebmaster
