Hi guys,

There have been some recent discussions regarding the use of foreign languages on the O2 Community by members from around the world. There have been some interesting views on how to manage this such as:

 

- Allowing OPs to be written in a foreign language and then translated by the first replier along with the advice they want to give

 

- To remove all foreign content. The Community Team will then contact said members to ask them to post in English

 

We don't want to inhibit members getting, but we also want everyone to be able to understand what they are discussing or offering advice on.

 

Its not an issue that crops up often at all, but its an important one so Id love to hear all of your thoughts! 

 

 

 

Fancy writing a great device review or O2 forum guide? Send me a message!

Get involved:
• New to the community? This is how you get help.
• Want to know who we are? Come and say hi to us.
• Want to have a chat? Drop me a direct message.

If Live Chat are allowed to use google translate then it's good enough for us too.
