Postings to be in English only

Hi ravisivan, Yes I was and am fully aware, as it is listed in the guidelines. Though at times I have posted something in Spanish I always use the (=) sign and translate it, but then it is part of the discussion and the name of the dish of that is what I am mentioning, therefore, it was fine as the translation was in English. No issue my friend it happens and one learns from it, we just cannot continually duplicate guideline violations as there is where the problem will be if one continues. Thanks for the reminder though as all of us certainly can gain knowledge from any errors.

I knew about these rules here, in Mylot. But I don't think it is the end of the world if you post something in another language, with the English translation next to it. If there's a quote you want to share, I think it would be nice to post the original version of it then the English translation. About the quality of English I couldn't say anything because my English is not too good.

hi ravosovan this is why it so important to read all the Mylot info as you would have known you cannot post in textese or in any foreign language.whey is its so hard for mew people here or anyone to read the mylot information and know what the heck they are doing on mylot?So now you know refrain from your foreign language on mylot as they have no translators.all newcomers would be aware of this rule had they bothered to read the mylot guidelines and the rules of discussions. you all would not have discussions deleted if you had read the rules.

For me yes English is the main language to be present.

I have not posted any sentences in any other language other than English.I have quoted from "Thirukural" after translating it into English.Of course the grammatical is not being deleted.But some members points out the mistakes by which myLotters may learn also the correct English.

what happens when we comment and if that particular post get deleted on mylot then are we given the credit of commenting on that very discussion.

I am kind of glad that mylot is an English only. Can you imagine all the post we would have not been able to read if they did have it in another language. I would feel like I would not understand and that I would miss out on a good conversation!

As HWG has mentioned that we should translate them in english, if we wish to write something on your local language. I do sometimes but i translate them as well. Good day.

Yes, the basic logic is that you should use a language everyone can understand, and, clearly, that has to be English.

This is expectable in any forum, as everything in written in English, it's supposed that all posts will be in English too, and the guidelines remark this as well as in this discussion and is good to have around the tip. But that rule is of course not that strict. The main body of the post must be in English as everyone here is supposed to understand to some degree at least. But we may as well include some phases, citations, comments in other languages as well, as long as we clearly state that we are telling somewhat in other language and if obviously related to the topic. The classic example is "How does .... is said in ...... ?", and the answer will be in that language.

Yes, these are 2 important rules to keep in mind when creating or responding to discussions. We all make rule violations on occasion. We learn from them and try not to make the mistake again. It's unavoidable at time. You get caught up in what your do and all the rules get tossed out. Best Wishes!

I did not know that the postings have to be in English only. But I do know that we cannot comment on the quality of English. But anyways, I cannot type in any other languuage.

I like this

Thanks for your information I just know it now so we can't write in our respective language. Maybe because english is the only language that is universally understood. We haven't tried if there is a website similar to mylot that is using one's language. Not all people in the world know how to speak and write english.
