Hello,
When can we expect other languages supported in the forums? Im not asking for whole new forums, could be as easy as adding Regional / other language sub sections to this main forum?

I think that seperated forums are better. Everything else will end in problems (german in spanish thread, missunderstanding of the language section, mixing up the forums eg. writing a server fallout in the british version, but you play the us version).
Then country specific forum areas
I think, it's only fair to allow sections or forums for other languages. Separated forums seem to be better.
Its something that could happen a lot faster than building whole new forums.
Tere are 23 country specific versions of the game & 2 forums.
That's correct but 25 country specific forums mean support in 25 different languages. And I don't think that's gonna happen.
What's the second forum?
We've got
https://forum.meldkamerspel.com/
https://board.missionchief.com/
and
this forum.
A hidden ENglish board! awesome
This board is only for the german version. So we don't need other language sections

There is no version for the server im on. Thats why I came here to ask
It might be better to suggest sub language areas in the English forum and not here, preferably cause English is the way more common language and it'd just bother the majority of users here, not necessarily including me.
The wish for forums for the other games is totally understandable. The game is currently available in 24 languages! Only 4 (or 5) of them got official forums (Germany, Netherlands, UK and US (Australia probably somehow also uses the UK/US Forum), the rest only got Facebook groups. This is definitely something that needs change to provide more community communication.
However I think that the three existing Forums should stay for the languages, they are currently. One could think of a unified Forum for all the other games. But please keep in mind, that XYRALITY needs to maintain these and provide community support etc. This is a lot work to do so I can also understand why there aren't more forums yet. Nevertheless I think, the community-team of XYRALITY is also interested in a good communication. So we should give them some time to evaluate another time how much this really is a good idea to create forums for the other games
Greetings Jan
Der Wunsch nach Foren für die anderen Spiele ist völlig verständlich. Das Spiel ist derzeit in 24 Sprachen erhältlich! Nur 4 (oder 5) davon haben offizielle Foren (Deutschland, Niederlande, UK und USA (Australien benutzt wahrscheinlich irgendwie auch das UK/US-Forum), der Rest hat nur Facebook-Gruppen. Dies ist definitiv etwas, das geändert werden muss, um mehr Kommunikation in der Gemeinschaft zu ermöglichen.
Ich denke jedoch, dass die drei bestehenden Foren für die Sprachen bleiben sollten, die sie derzeit sind. Man könnte sich ein einheitliches Forum für alle anderen Spiele vorstellen. Aber bitte bedenken Sie, dass XYRALITY diese beibehalten und die Gemeinschaft unterstützen muss usw. Das ist eine Menge Arbeit, und ich kann auch verstehen, warum es noch nicht mehr Foren gibt. Trotzdem denke ich, dass das Community-Team von XYRALITY auch an einer guten Kommunikation interessiert ist. Wir sollten ihnen also etwas Zeit geben, um ein anderes Mal zu evaluieren, inwieweit dies wirklich eine gute Idee ist, Foren für die anderen Spiele zu schaffen

Ja, ich hab das deutsche nicht extra geschrieben, sondern einfach übersetzen lassen aus Faulheit
Totally agree. Australian version is very different to the US version, so its only useful to talk to other English speakers.
It cant be too hard to start new forums for the other languages.
Copy, Translate then paste (assuming thge currently supported forums use the same templates)
I think this is difficult, except you know how to clone humans.
From here onwards, please think of "you" as a company.
Creating a Forum is more than just copy&paste some source code. There is more technical stuff to do, and you also need to provide a team.
You cannot simply engage anyone as a moderator, that would be a high risk. You need to trust them and know them so that you can be sure, they're acting how you would.
Creating a Forum is much much more than having some source code and customizing some settings...
It is simple to create forums
It is simple to do the 'technical' stuff. 'The Company' has already done it a couple of times.
How do you get to know someone & 'trust' them if they have no real way to communicate?
Anyways I have asked nicely & it seems to upset those that have it already.
So I will think I will stop trying to advocate for the 20+ other languages the game covers because you guys already have it in German.
Good morning DemonicJ ,
We'll gladly answer your question.
It is not possible to "simply copy-paste" a forum.
We also do not plan to open any further forum, especially not for versions with few active players on it, because it costs us a lot of development time and we have to maintain each version separately. Also we have to choose advisors/moderators who can take care of basic forum requests, which is also a very time-consuming process, since we have to evaluate their actions and make sure they don't abuse their powers.
Long story short: We have set up Facebook as a way for other countries to communicate. There are no plans for new forums currently.
Sincerely,
The Community-Team
