A more diverse/ethinic prince.org .......

Just a thought...how about having Forums in other languages???

Alice7 has suggested to have one in Spanish so that she will be able to comunicate with others who share her love for Prince in her first language. Considering that Ben is in Spain, I think that it would be appropriate as Alice7 is from Spain also.

I'm sure there are many other orgers here that would like to comunicate with others, in their first language. The org seems to be well known around the world and as such should become more accessible to those who's first language isn't English.

Thanks for reading my twocents

I don't know how difficult it is (which means that it is), but some type of translator wouldn't hurt either.

There are some reviews in german/dutch that I can't read. Unless it's not meant to be read by someone other than german/dutch. (NO FLAMES PLEASE)


I think it's a good idea, as long as EVERYONE can share.

That sounds like a possible good idea. Just for the record, though, I'm pretty sure that Ben doesn't speak Spanish--although I'm sure he's learning it now.

I used to be semi-fluent im French... I studied it for five years, but have forgotten most of it. sad I can still kinda read it and get a basic understanding, though.

Hola, como estas?
Muy bien, gracias...y tu?
Bien, gracias.
Como se llama?
Me llamo Rhonda. Y tu?
Me llamo Matthew. De donde eres?
Soy de Estados Unidos.

HA!

Personally, I would appreciate a Spanish forum. I mean, err, I could learn to speak Spanish, and practice my spelling and so on. And learn to say, "Mr. Artiga, I would like to see you naked." smile

I speak French, Japanese and a little German.

However my opinion on this matter is: we don't really have the resources to run and moderate a foreign language site forum, so it is probably best left to the foreign Prince fan sites.

Thanks for your replies, Ian, MostBeatiful..., Battier, CherryMoon, Matt, and Divo02.

I kind of figured that this might not be possible for all the reasons you have all mentioned. What the hell, it was worth a try.
I have been to some other Prince sites and they often provide a link to this one. I wonder if this is also the case with the foreign Prince fan sites as well.

Thanks!

I feel free when I can post in the lenguage that comes out when I think about this matter and it depends to whom I speakng too.
If somebody wants to do post in another lenguage as English, I find that okay and I'm sure from somewhere will become an answer.
