Title: Create an area for members who speak another language.
Post by: game_maker on June 20, 2012, 02:54:39 pm: Hi I'm from Brazil. I speak the Portuguese language. I came here to suggest that you create an area (section) for members who speak other languages. It need not be only for the Portuguese, so you decide. I love SFML, like many users of Brazil, so many.

Post by: Laurent on June 20, 2012, 03:05:45 pm: I won't add a language to the main website that I won't be able to maintain myself.

But feel free to create your own website with portuguese translations.

This is clear, if it goes well.

What would that involve?

Maybe it may inspire you. ;)

Post by: Knitter on June 22, 2012, 10:48:28 am: I've seen such suggestions before in other forums and I must say they didn't turn out the way people expected. I too speak Portuguese, though I'm on the other side of the Atlantic :), but I would caution you to first determine if you have enough Portuguese speaking users to justify a new forum since a new forum will always create some fragmentation and most of the users that are able to answer questions speak English.

Você sabe onde eu posso encontrar informações sobre criação de jogos em C++, relacionado com os objetos do jogo, os sprites, a organização em classes, e tudo mais?

@Thank you all.

Personal messages should be sent by MP. Public messages must be written in the forum language so that everybody can read them. Thank you.

Knitter, nice to know that you speak Portuguese.
You know where I can find information about making games in C + +, related to game objects, sprites, the organization of classes, and everything else?

I know I did not need to put in English, but only for those who think I'm talking bad ...

My other personal messages will be sent via PM.

Post by: Knitter on June 22, 2012, 05:17:44 pm: You can find a lot of info in this forum, the wiki and the official documentation for SFML. Another well known community is http://www.gamedev.net/page/index.html, they have several tutorials and complete articles on all things "game development".

If you need help with C, C++ or general programming there is a Portuguese forum you can use at http://www.portugal-a-programar.pt, it is a generic programming forum but many of the members do game development.

Going back to the topic, I'm not against creating a Portuguese speaking community, but keep in mind that you will need to do more than just create the forum, it takes a lot of work.
