Breaking the Language Barrier

When networking, one has to remember that not all of us speak and understand the same language. Since NOAH is creating a global network, it is important that we overcome this problem. There is no use of a person posting a problem and no-one else understanding the language in which it is posted! Likewise, it is a waste if a person posts a reply in a language that others don't understand.

So does this then mean that we do not post if it is not in English?

No! POST as much as you want in whatever language you want... we will translate it and add it as a comment under the post. Simple. People can then read it in English and reply.

So what happens when people understand neither the language used nor English?

When you do not understand a language, you can simply go to Google Translate and get the translation. The reason we have chosen English as a central translation is because firstly it is the most widely spoken/understood language. Secondly, it gives you the freedom to share it on your wall or re-tweet it, without wondering whether others in your list will understand it or not.

But what if people cannot understand how to use Google translate?

It is not very difficult to understand Google translate. All you have to do is paste the post on the left box on the screen and then choose your language (in the second language box which says 'to:'). the translated post will appear on the right side.

Let us make sure that language does not become a hindrance in our path! We will create a network powerful enough to reach people world over!
