I'd would like to see the current and active moderators continue. However (the "but") I may get asks "why external mods?" (we are a company with "security" at its core after all) and I want all the ammo I can get to defend the idea.
Vilic, I like the idea of not having separate language forums....
I'd agree with that.
Why don't we allow everyone to post in a language they feel comfortable in, and then adding their best English translation or the result of Google Translate
Is there a rule that disallows localized content to be in any board?
As an example take this post: https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/68/t/62884
If it was actually posted (still in German) to this board...
https://community.sophos.com/products/unified-threat-management/astaroorg/f/58
...wouldn't that mean the question and answer (be it German or not) is best placed to receive an answer? Shouldn't we encourage posting to the correct board dependent on the product area/component/technology involved, no matter the language? Rather than 'dump' all questions on a particular language into one place?
I'm working to get the hierarchy of the new boards on the new system correct. If we can agree to adopt this moving forwards I'd like it. I'd offer the question to the mods and the German language speakers though.
The site admin has recommended that the Italian board isn't to be migrated over. However I'm open to 'migrate both boards and lock them down to read only (available for a search but no new content). Don't exclude localized content from the main boards'.
It's one for the community - their your boards. [:)]

Thanks for all the replies - keep them coming. I hope this post is reaching all the right users - I hope this thread has enough visibly on the forum, being on this board.

“Stay paranoid, my friends.”
Barry, my suggestion is that every thread would be in English with some posts including the native language of the poster as well as the English translation. I would prefer that to posts today that include only the output of Google translate.
