PLEASE stop posting another language
Ok ...I'm asking nicely ...please stop posting another language in this forum ....some of us dont understand it .... maybe you can PM people or make it outside the forum ...it's just annoying to see most of the title is in another language .... I know there is a certain forum or group for it ...but it come to the main forum too .... so can you please respect us who dont understand what you are saying ...
Thank you so much for your consideration ....

Indo .... sorry don't agree with you ! Everyone has a right ...and if you notice that most of those languages are spoken under their Groups not in the main forum !!
Also this is the beauty of QL ... :-)
By the way if i see any thread or post in a language other then English which I don't understand I simply don't go there or at least I don't try to hit my head on the screen to understand it what they are discussing ...
Let people enjoy their life with freedom :-)

Second the motion, Speed,... ...but Indorachel, if you are talking to misplace Tagalog thread in the main forum, our apology.

No Problem ...i have no issue with different languages on QL it reflects the diversity...
some members for example of Latino group actually dont post because they dont have the English skills to write.
They are active members of the Latino Group and one of the great things about QL is bringing people together.
So i think its fair that a lot of the Latino Group info is in Spanish / Portuguese

agree with SPEED ...and as long as it's within the guidelines you cant do anything with it, except to request the moderators to change/revise it...
why open a thread when you cant understand it? oh ok, you'll say the title is written in english... well, check the "Type" of forum..
there are 2 types of forum:
1. Forum topic - for the main forum
2. Story - for group forums
so, before you open the "Story forum" be prepared that it may or may not be in english
FYI & just sharing what i discovered

If you can't understand the thread title, then don't click it.
There's enough white/western discrimination in Qatar without adding QL to it.
Leave people to post in any language they desire.

I'll argue with what ...I'll argue with what rami-leb said, just for fun;
The site owners and admin have said on numerous occasions that only English should be used in the main forums. Hence everyone has to abide by that or face the consequences.
Other languages can be used in their respective groups.
SPEED said

I can see why it is ...I can see why it is difficult for the site owners to monitor things if in different languages but why not have more moderators who speak other languages? eek, what are the consequences? I will have to keep my greek language a secret!
tallg said
For the same reason that ...For the same reason that when you walk into a coffee shop or restaurant or whatever you speak English. It's been accepted as the common language in Qatar and hence is also the common language on QL.
There aren't many online forums where people post in multiple languages on the main forums. They're nearly always sub-divided into language specific groups, as they are on QL.

Does it really, truly, make ...Does it really, truly, make that much of a difference whether or not people occassionally post in a language other than English?
There are even some people who post in a language similar to english, but I don't understand what they are typing. Perhaps datz becoz Im old n not wif the yoof.
So maybe we shouldn't just stop at imposing a language restriction. Maybe we should implement a style guide, with prefered spellings of some words, and agreement on which inverted commas and parentheses are suitable in certain circumstances. And people who can't use the possessive apostrophe should be banned. Would that make everyone happy?

indorachel, in fiairness to the ...flipino group here in QL, we try to abide the rules by our moderator. That was why he created a group. Unlike before, anybody can post in the main forum,and some posted in their own dialect/language. But as the group was formed (according to nationalities), I guess there's freedom to post in your own language. Unfortunately, what you often see here were posted by filipinos. But pls, don't be offended,but rather check the category where the topic is being posted.
Flammable said
ohh common guys, make it ...ohh common guys, make it simple..As i said,once a topic is started in English its ethics that it should be commented in English ony (or something similar to english, Lol)
whts important here is to convey your message to the one who posted it.

What I fin d irritating is that the subject is in English, so I go there and then the topic/ discussion is in another language..

it's just that it happens. the only thing some people get pissed off is when they got interested on something they ended up being disappointed.
better if we don't understand, we just leave it behind.
just my opinion though... ^_^

I agree, Alexa, it is a ...I agree, Alexa, it is a courtesy to respond in the language of the original post.
However, we both know that QL is not often the place of 'courtesy and manners'.
Perhaps posting in another language isn't the 'right' thing to do, but can people just get over it?
Seriously, it's no biggie, right?
Do a couple of lines of Tagalog really ruin your day and get you that riled up? Get over it.
nicaq25 said
yah you're right rami-leb ...no big deal and as what tallg said, it's not an issue.
Alexa said
Rami, no it does not ruin ...Rami, no it does not ruin anybodies day. BUT..I think English can be the common denominator of all people here. We are so diverse and more often than not different, so English may be the common thing between all of us.Why take that away?

msosa said
As in all discussions... ...nobody is wrong and nobody is completely right. The thing is, in my point of view, that anybody who actually is in Qatar at this moment, can live or work without at least a little bit of English. So is no logic the existence of excluding alter languages threads, which are no polite at all.
Ok. If I don't like I wouldn't enter. But very often I fell into this threads by Googling around.
That's my opinion... Que!
