Too many language boards isn't a huge problem, as we can easily put them in a subforum, but the problem is we need to not clutter that place either. IMHO it's best if there's enough demand on something. Notice how we didn't re-add a dutch section: It's because not enough people need one.

I know that google translate sucks, but what about a Google translate tool that you can choose the language to translat3 too?

Err. Just to revive this thread a bit. It does seem a bit of a big ask to add a Chinese board, but it wouldn't be so hard to add an #omnimaga-cn channel. We already have many extra channels it wouldn't be that much of an ask to add it. Then if people are using this channel, we can see if a Chinese board is needed.

Personally, I am of Chinese background, though I was born in Australia and am not native speaking. I have learnt both Traditional and Simplified, however I am learning Simplified atm. 我的意见好吗？

Last time I posted some Japanese characters, OmnomIRC didn't really choked...

Anyway, I guess you could go found a #omnimaga-cn already on EFNet/OmniNet and if there's enough activity, we can add it to the roster of languages OmnomIRC supports. Keep in mind that none of the Omnimaga staff speaks Chinese though, unlike French and German (which is in the same family as English, which is rather easy to translate).

I don't know what to say really, cuz I'm not staff, but there are those extra channels, and #Omnimaga-anime seems to be a standard channel.
In reference to the crowded tab issue, instead of putting the full name of each channel #omnimaga-fr #omnimaga-de, it could be shortened to just fr, de.

Not sure how that would work though.

Thanks Juju.
We'll have to get Netham45 to look into this.

Yes I thought of that too, they have to stand out. #fr #en #de
