Suggestion for the language communities.


Suggestion: Could they be put in alphabetical order, maybe by the English names (with the native-language name beside it) since English is commonly used here? They seem to be in order of creation, so it takes a little time before finding the one you want, or even to see if the one you want exists... :mad:

Now:
Português, Deutsch , Suomi, Español, Nederlands, Français, Bahasa Melayu, Russkii, Magyar, עברית - Hebrew, Filipino, Chinese, Italiano, Lietuviškai or Lithuanian, Polski, Türkçe - Türkiye, Eesti, Bahasa Indonesia, New Zealand, Switzerland, suisse, schweiz, svizzera, svizra, Japanese, Slovenščina, Australia and New Guinea, Singapore, Čeština / Slovenština, Svenska, Ex-Yugoslavian Countries, British Isles, North America, Thailand, Belarus, óêğà¿íñüêà / Ukraine, Korea, Ελληνικα - GREEK, Dansk - Danish, Latvia, Norsk - Norwegian, Others

A bit confusing :)

I also agree with this, moreover I would prefer English names, too. Many subforums aren't only visited by natives but also foreigners asking for help or postcards from that given country/language area.

I have alpha reordered that section and added some of the english names for the languages.

Not sure about the length now of the language names, what is the opinion about it currently?

Thanks! I don't know about the opinion of others but it looks fine to me now.

I like it now as well. Maybe I would also add Czech Rep./Slovakia or Ex-Czechoslovakia next to Čeština / Slovenština. Also Slovenia next to Slovenščina. :)

Maybe also GREEK should be written with Caps Lock turned off. ;)
