WordPress.com forums, Internazionale
We’re always trying to get everyone the best information possible, and we take pride in our stellar support service. Sometimes, though, we run into a language barrier; not everyone blogs in English (thank goodness!).
So we’ve set up forums for some of our most popular languages: Español, Deutsch, Português do Brasil, Français, Italiano, Bahasa Indonesia, Nederlands, Svenska, Português, and Türkçe. A few of these are even in the correct language! (We’ll work on getting them all fully translated soon.)
Hopefully, these “international” forums will grow into great communities for sharing help, ideas and good times just like the English speaking forums have.
PS: Most of the translation was done by real people, but some of it was done by machine; don’t laugh too hard 
February 3rd, 2007 at 12:10 am
Yay, more languages to learn =P Well international is good!

Many thanks from germany

на шордпрессе никто не пишет на русском языке
Just kidding
Good work!
February 3rd, 2007 at 1:14 am
Woo thanks very much, for Bahasa Indonesia forum. But why interface language not use bahasa Indonesia too?
February 3rd, 2007 at 1:28 am
Awesome. And the features just keep coming
February 3rd, 2007 at 1:36 am
I am Cambodian
I want to have a Khmer language forum… :,)
February 3rd, 2007 at 1:39 am
Very Good Work / Davvero un ottimo lavoro
Thanks a lot! / Grazie mille!
February 3rd, 2007 at 1:39 am
Пишут, и ещё как (вроде), только что то все русские пишут по английски
February 3rd, 2007 at 2:27 am
Why not just setup a global feature for language translation? There are wordpress plugins that allow translation. Why not just use these so everyone may participate in one forum, rather than having a forum for everyone?
With this, the language that you choose in your profile, will be the language that is displayed, just like in your dashboard. Why not make it this way for all of wordpress, rather than just parts of it?
That or just make everyone learn English.
Just kidding!
February 3rd, 2007 at 3:14 am
I wish you would set-up more languages, specially Tagalog/Filipino..
February 3rd, 2007 at 3:28 am
Brazil can count on me to help and chat in the forums. Way to go!
February 3rd, 2007 at 3:34 am
Waiting also for Hindi forum.
February 3rd, 2007 at 3:57 am
It would be cool if you guys could set up forums that are for general stuff, and aren’t related to getting help with WP at all. Like a huge community of WPers that could talk about whatever.
February 3rd, 2007 at 3:58 am
Yeah!!!WP rules,
Cheers
February 3rd, 2007 at 4:00 am
Oh goodness. great work.
February 3rd, 2007 at 4:50 am
Me gusto pork.
February 3rd, 2007 at 5:02 am
Pan me ase mhanto ki tumhi Marathi madhye sudha ka nahi chalu kele?
Great work folks.
February 3rd, 2007 at 6:29 am
Good thinking .. are you guys planning to have forums in more languages other than those mentioned???
February 3rd, 2007 at 8:09 am
Bedankt!
Much appreciated!
February 3rd, 2007 at 8:12 am
I post in Spanish too… and my English is not too brilliant (as you can see), so thank you, WP people!
February 3rd, 2007 at 9:07 am
Woot! WP is truly I18N’ed
February 3rd, 2007 at 9:24 am
Greek also please…
Κι ελληνικά ρε παιδιά!
February 3rd, 2007 at 9:28 am
Great. This will encourage me to write not only in Spanish and English, but also in Italian, German and Vasque. My multicultural friends will enjoy it. Besos :-*
February 3rd, 2007 at 9:28 am
excelente
February 3rd, 2007 at 10:15 am
perfect!
February 3rd, 2007 at 10:30 am
count on me for some help with italian translation, if needed !!!
February 3rd, 2007 at 11:07 am
When Latvian language will be presented in worpdress?? We have translated allmost all strings, there are less than 90 strings left?
February 3rd, 2007 at 11:45 am
Yeah!! Thanks for ‘Portuguese of Brazil’ =D
February 3rd, 2007 at 12:00 pm
excellent job, wordpress! i hope to see the addition of more languages, like malay, german and maybe even mandarin (chinese), japanese and korean!
February 3rd, 2007 at 12:03 pm
Well done! but half of the population of the world is Chinese
, how about their language to include?
February 3rd, 2007 at 12:10 pm
What about one forum for all Indic Languages? We really need it!!
February 3rd, 2007 at 12:21 pm
1 for Vietnamese WordPress-er , plz
February 3rd, 2007 at 12:31 pm
Superb!
Absolutely Thoughtful! Just like WordPress..
February 3rd, 2007 at 1:15 pm
Yeah maybe forums will be in polish (at least)
February 3rd, 2007 at 2:00 pm
Thanks WordPress.com. I think, that forums will be very useful for WordPress.com users.
February 3rd, 2007 at 3:38 pm
Great!
February 3rd, 2007 at 4:00 pm
We in Germany are discussing right now the possibility of automatically connecting the comment function of blogs to forums. Everytime somebody comments on a blog post that comment would appear as a forum post and start a thread in a central forum. The reason for this would be to promote less known blogs and to encourage commenting there.
What do you think about this? Does this make sense to you?
February 3rd, 2007 at 4:09 pm
great idea! i am bisaya, try to speak my language. how can i put smiley face here?
February 3rd, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Iwas shocked that there was no arabic!!!!!
February 3rd, 2007 at 4:35 pm
thx for the dutch version!
wordpress is one of the only ww-things that made it so far///
February 3rd, 2007 at 5:55 pm
Great done, folks
but I can’t understand the purpose of two separate “Português do Brasil” (sic) and “Português” forums. Portuguese is but one language -or it was, last time I checked. In my humble opinion, this is totally non-sense; you are isolating and labelling speakers of the same language just for they nationality. I’m a Galizanman myself, are you going to set up any “Português da Galiza” forum?
Indeed, we don’t have an American English forum, an Hibernian English one, an Australian English one, Scottish English and so on… Italian and Spanish (and French) have too a lot of dialects and “differences” among regions, countries and continents. Portuguese is the same language on both sides of the Atlantic Ocean. We can deal with a few differences…
Wouldn’t it be great to have an unified Portuguese language forum? As for me, it would. Absolutely.
February 3rd, 2007 at 6:13 pm
What about changing the Swedish forum to a Scandinavian language forum?
We have no problem communicating in the two Norwegian languages, Swedish and Danish at the same time.
Just a thought.
February 3rd, 2007 at 7:55 pm
Good Idea. Grazie from Italy
February 3rd, 2007 at 10:34 pm
awesome, very helpful!
February 4th, 2007 at 12:56 am
Wow, Indonesian is one of the top languages!
February 4th, 2007 at 6:11 am
Thanks
how long before the dashboard gets translated too, or have I missed the best-kept secret? 
Top work as always.
February 4th, 2007 at 8:47 am
I think it’s a good idea. Thanks!
February 4th, 2007 at 9:35 am
cool… i hope, i can join the translation team for localizating of my language.
February 4th, 2007 at 2:19 pm
Wow, now I got very confused when I came in to the Forum, and was redirected to the swedish one, who didn´t have anything in it.
So I have to ask, shall every country start their own support forum or is the the meaning that someone shall translate everythin from the orginal forum?
I don´t recognice me in the old forum either, so this realy mixed up my head
February 4th, 2007 at 2:49 pm
Svo er náttúrlega spurning hvenær heimsveldið Ísland fær sitt spjallborð.
-Iceland, with it’s population of 300.000 anxiously waits for its own forum.
February 4th, 2007 at 3:45 pm
Great, now can we please have forums that look like forums again instead of that weird simulacrum of this blog?
February 4th, 2007 at 4:55 pm
always a pleasure to be on wordpress. here’s another reason. thnx. great work.
February 4th, 2007 at 5:58 pm
buenisimo.
Gracias!

Good work! Always improving
Thanks!

The Cosmopolism Rules All Around the World!
Bella storia, i wordpress manager ruleggiano come al solito
That’s cool but I’m afraid that nessuno qua intorno riesca a capire what’a'heck I’m saying… Espexially if I go on mixin’ English e Italiano…
C’est bien, au revoir, madames et monsieurs!
AF
February 4th, 2007 at 9:32 pm
Danke schön oder schoen.
Again from Germany
February 5th, 2007 at 1:55 am
Where is the Arabic in all this? I thought it was a pretty hot language these days.
February 5th, 2007 at 3:10 am
¡Caramba, pero ustedes no paran de impresionarme! (I’m getting out of original compliment words in English for your outSTANDING work and CARING) SO WELL DONE!!! And thanks, guys!
February 5th, 2007 at 4:47 am
good luck with the new forums. I hope they too become vibrant communities just like the English forum.
February 5th, 2007 at 6:17 am

You guys, rock! I feel safe in saying that since I’ve been on 4 different blogging providers. You respond back to inquiries. You have this built-in community. I could go on and on, but the bottom line is YOU ROCK!
February 6th, 2007 at 12:38 pm
