Rules translation

[sovereign]

Ignorance of the rules is still no excuse. If you cannot speak/type/read English on a roleplaying server then there's no point in telling them to read the rules because they will still not interact with the rest of the players.

Exactly the point, which is why we're suggesting telling people that "This is an English speaking server" in languages other than English- if they don't speak English and don't realize this, they won't know until they start getting sanctioned, and might not even then.


EDIT: Xoria has a point. I'm all for only translating 3.3, and I can confirm that the Spanish one says stuff correctly. Gronath's one looked right too, but then again its been awhile since I've done anything with Portuguese.

EDIT2: Just to keep things on the safe side in case someone gets skeptical, I confirm this:

3.3 Todos los mensajes en chat deben escribirse en un ingles comprensible, salvo que sea un chat privado y los dos miembros conozcan el idioma usado.

To say:

All messages in chat should be written in understandable English, unless in a private chat and both members of that chat know the language used.

Compared to the server rule itself:

3.3 All messages in chat must be in understandable English, unless the chat is private and both members know the language being used.

Which is about as close as its going to get.
