Hello fellow AG users.

When playing ShellShock Live in multiplayer, I've noticed that a big part of the AG users are not american. I've already seen people from Mexico, Brazil (i'm brazilian, by the way), France, Italy, Netherlands, Romania, Serbia, Germany and more.

And I was thinking: How people from countries who use another language can fully understand the rules of the site or the rules of the forum?

Wouldn't be helpful for these users the creation of help topics or pages on other languages (such as french, german, french and spanish, portuguese)? It would avoid a lot of rule violations by these users, because they would understand the rules properly.

Thanks for the attention.

I think translating the help page would do the trick. But not translated by online tranlators (ie Google), because they're awful.

Another method could be special community divisions (like those that divide the Flash Game Forums from the Support and Suggestion Forums) that only had forums in other languages and explained the rules of the site and the forum rules.

And a more radical way would be put a Moderator of each country, but that is too risky, as that Moderator maybe don't fully understand the rules too and explain them wrong to the other players.

AG3 is planning on internationalizing the site, however requesting that all comments be made in English. The internationalizing will be for providing help and information about the site and how it works in multiple languages, but a more-recent topic explained that the feature will be planned POST-launch.
