It is now possible for group creators on the site to choose the individual language for particular groups on the "Edit Group" page, and all parts of the group's interface will appear in that language. When participating in a group with its language set to French, for example, phrases like "Started by" or action links like "Favorite" will be translated to "Cr par" and "Favori." Even better: All email notifications received from participating in the group will be in French, too.

The portions of the user interface that are part of AmeriCymru as a whole the footer, tabs, the right column will remain untouched in the network's default language.Member-generated content won't change either, remaining in whatever language it was posted in.

As an example we have set the group language for our Welsh In South America group to Espanol ( Latin America ) See screenshot below ( click to enlarge ) or visit the group here:-

Group Creators are responsible for their groups, and they often carefully review new posts . Of course, it could be confusing to try to manage a group if the management tools are in another language.Not everyone might know, for example, that "Supprimer" is the button to click to delete a French group.

To maintain a great and consistent experience, group creators will see all groups in the native network language. Additionally,they will see an informational banner at the top of the group telling them what language the group is using, and allowing them to see the group in the custom language, if they wish.

Group creators and admins can click "View sample" to see the group in the custom language if they want to check out how the group appears to its members. A group's language can be changed at any time from the group's Options tab, where all editing of groups is normally done.

Of course what we really need now is a Welsh language file. Any ideas?

Meantime if any of our members wanted to set up groups in European or other languages for didactic purposes etc, this is now possible.

We'd love your feedback on this new project. We hope this feature will lay the groundwork to eventually providing a language setting at the member level, giving an even better experience for all our members. Diolch!
