Hey! It's a great idea, I think it will really help a lot of people. I actually know Hindi, but I don' t know if there are enough members who need help to open a topic for that. If you ever to need help with it, feel free to PM me. |

I'm from Holland and speak dutch. I noticed the new International Department, and I was just wondering who I had to ask if they could add dutch to it.
I understand that they can't add every language, but dutch is one of the major languages in the world, and i'm sure that there are more people on the site that speak dutch. Even if I have to manage it alone. Please don't judge me by my amount of points, I can and I will be active on the forum if you make a dutch section. I am a mod on other sites, just thought about saying that if you would think I wouldn't be able to keep up with the mesages. | |

But it's probably because they don't speak such good English.
Do you kknow of any HP sites that are done in Hindi?
If not, maybe there is a slight demand for it. Or maybe not - I wouldn't know. | |

That's great, I'll let you know if I need help. So far, I haven't gotten pleas for help in Hindi yet but I got a PM from from monababez and she says she can help too. I don't know Tamil, and she knows Punjabi too, which I don't so...Actually I also know Orriya but I doubt anyone's even heard of it unless they're in India.
I'm sorry, I don't know any Harry Potter sites in Hindi Dumbledore. That's actually the first time I'm hearing of it. But maybe if we started a small section for Hindi, and people felt comfortable around it, we might start attracting more Indian users...just a thought.
Considering I got a PM about it and hoh4twins also posted about, those just being the people who read my post, all in one day, there would be quite a few who know the language. I think most of them have learnt in English based schools...I dunno...never lived there...but most those would be the people who would have regular acess to the internet...I know from my parents all business is done in English...Sorry this doesn't really concern the matter does it? :/ | |

My mother tongue is Greek. But I am not sure if there are many visitors from Greece or Greek-speaking. But I can help if you wish. I also have some knowledge in minor languages but I don't think it is useful.  | |

But you're right. I've never come across a Harry Potter site in Hindi. it's a good idea though. you guys are always improving this site! :flowersmile: | |
