Posting in Spanish?

[Abejorro]

I still have to confirm it, but it looks like I've finally found Coroplast, not only in my country, but also in my city! . But since it hasn't been an easy or quick research, I've got a little list of places in Spain (and also an international shop in Germany) where Coroplast can be found, comments about some of them, and a pair of tips (which maybe can be found somewhere in the site, though I haven't seen them).

When I have some time, I would like to create a post with the info I've gathered together, but I was wondering if I could write it in Spanish, or both in English and Spanish, so spaniards having difficulties with English could understand it, and maybe making the post easier to find when using search engines.

I haven't found any rule about this (though I've got to change my glasses soon, so I apologize if it exists).

Thanks!

I don't think there is a rule, but wait for a more relyable person to answer that :P! But, I think its a great idea!

We moderators have to be able to moderate all posts so if using a non-English language, it should be posted in English and then the other language. So you may post it provided you do so in both languages.

Does this go for all languages?

[Ly&Pigs]

Yes. Any language that is not English.

There are a couple of Greek members and they were posting in Greek on profile messages. I have no clue what they said nor do the other mods. They were asked in the future to post an English version as well.

[Abejorro]

Thanks Ly, I'll post the info when I have some time.

Just another question: what would be the most appropiate way to separate both languages? Should I create, in the same thread, a separate post for each language, or do it in the same post, maybe with different colours?

[Ly&Pigs]

Post it in the same post in only black. Put English first, the you can put a blank line between and then post in Spanish and you could put a few ------ between if you'd like. Here is an example.

In my country it is hard to find coroplast. Here are some resources on how to locate it.

If the translation is wrong, blame babelfish as I used a translator.

[Abejorro]

OK, thanks.

(That translation is correct, but any spanish native would notice in a flash it's been generated by a translator ).

My own Spanish isn't so good these days. I took 4+ years in High School (graduated 25 years ago this year) and was a straight A Spanish student (with the exception of a B+ once) and in the Spanish Honor Society. But years without using it has left me not being able to speak or write it so well anymore. I can still read some. My Spanish teacher was wonderful. She was from Spain herself.
