RE: Hive Gaming Community Contest #5 - My First Online Game

in Hive Gaming3 years ago

About double language:

Well ... sometimes yes sometimes no, I was used to make bilingual posts FR/EN ... some English speaking people complained about the unreable thing after the english post...
(Yeah they compare the second part as junk just because it was not in English...)

Seems some of those english speaking guys think their language is at top of the pyramid :-) Not telling that you guys do htink so. But that is the reason I stopped writing double language posts...

About the effort ...
That is really mean to say that WE french speaking people do not make efforts to be read by people ... as if we who do not speak english MUST translate in each and every language on earth, while english people NEVER does it !!! yeah NEVER ...

The google translate was a good approach... and even if acydio thinks like you do, for the plagiarism etc ... not only I am not known for plagiarism, but for a personal feeling post like Your first online Game, it's hard and stupid to make plaggia...

But ok, no problem... I will simply move to a community where I am welcome as I am, where people do not force me to be someone else. I am not angry or whatever, just aware I am on the wrong place.

NB: RisingStar is a gaming community, from UK, they speak english, they can curate my posts ... and no they do not speak french... they just care about the members.

Sort:  

English is my 4th language, so most of what you said here is just borderline stupid and ignorant. It's a fact that there's more english users on Hive, second most likely spanish and french is definitely way down the line. It's like I'd post in swedish only to a contest and expect them to "curate" me and give me the benefit of the doubt that I didn't plagiarise and on top of it know that barely anyone is going to consume it but I'd still be entitled to participate and be rewarded for it. Doesn't really make sense.

If there's a swedish speaking community and curation project then they'd curate it but still doesn't mean the creators of this contest would have to accept me for a prize or get voted from them without trusting that the curation project has curated the post. That would depend on the reputation of that project.

Anyway, yeah... not sure what you were expecting.

It's not really about valuing a language higher than another but more about accommodating for a bigger audience. Most people will skip a post in a language they cannot read and won't go through the trouble of translating the post.

Acidyo was probably speaking in general terms with his statement.

Well seems like we're at a crossroads. Have a good one :)

You mean vote here, not curate.
