I'd like to suggest that all those members whose first language is not English create bilingual bios.

I was checking out some bios for players that were from Europe and they bios were in English only. Wouldn't it be interesting to be able to read a bio in English and see the same bio in another language? I'd love to be able to experience other languages in this way.

Unfortunately, the only languages that will look correct to [b]all[/b[ Internet users are those that use the ISO8859_1 character set. 🙁

If you do create a bilingual bio, please, note it here so that we may go see it.

Thanks!

I guess you would be speaking German if the USA had voted for the German language. English won by a vote over German. Guten tag.

Unlikely, seeing as he's Canadian. rgoudie, as you live in Quebec, aren't you legally required to provide an English/French bilingual bio? 😉

You laugh, but if I had a commercial site, and someone complained to the French Language Office, I would receive an offical notice requesting that I provide my web site in French.

I come from a mixed cultural environment, so I love both languages, but I have a hard head and refuse to be told which language to speak.
