Being Dutch myself I see no problem for myself to read and write in EVE using English with some grammar/syntax errors here and there without getting lost in translation.
Why do you feel it's so important that you must write in your own language that so many others do not master?
One universe, one server, why not one language?
Seriously intrigued here.
The French dont do English, possibly because of British actions and us being the old enemy or something. As such the Dutch have much better English as well as much better roads (Oh god they are like silk). Join Bat Country today and defend the Glorious Socialist Dictatorship |

I wondered why a French forum didn't go up at the same time as the German tbh, there seem to be plenty of French speakers ingame.

Most will deny it but it is racism plain and simple...
I remember when I lived in Calgary. They had a large little Italy community. There was these old italian women in the country been here 40 years and REFUSED to learn English. Everything they did was to make their home and neighborhood like Italy. I asked their grand kids "why did they come here if they feel like this?" They would say "for a better life"... So how was this better?

Italian would be the closest to Latin out of all of them. It's a fun language to speak and learn, much more fun to use than English when conversing. Not as effective (unless you're swearing), but still more fun.
Note: Italian-Americans are not Italians and do not speak Italian, therefore they don't count. Quite literally everything that comes out of their mouth in reference to the Italian language is complete nonsense and/or ridiculous. |

Nah, the traditional enemy thing is only a British perspective, *their* prime enemy for centuries has indeed been France, and the tabloids and yellow press (The Sun, Daily Mail, Telegraph...) like to fuel the fire today still. The French, on the other hand, have been at war repeatedly with most of-¦Europe, with various incarnations of the german empires for a prime enemy (the Habsburg empires, the Holy Roman Empire, the Austrian empire, Prussia, Germany) and so the French do not generally think of the British or English as The Old Enemy.
The reason the French do not speak English so well is more simple I believe: they do not need to. French is a widespread language with quite a lot of speakers and secondary speakers and a big market, which means much of everything gets translated and dubbed, that airline companies, car rental agencies, hotels etc throughout the world will have employees who speak French, that it's no trouble using translators to conduct business or diplomacy etc. It's pretty much the same reason the British or Americans can't speak other languages for the most part, they don't need to. Add to that that French was pretty much a universal language of-¦the educated just a few generations ago, the way English has become post WW2, old habbits die hard.

I have removed some rule breaking posts. As always I let some edge cases stay. Please people, keep it on topic and above all civil!
The Rules: 4. Personal attacks are prohibited.
Commonly known as flaming, personal attacks are posts that are designed to personally berate or insult another forum user. Posts of this nature are not beneficial to the community spirit that CCP promote and as such they will not be tolerated.
5. Trolling is prohibited.
Trolling is a defined as a post that is deliberately designed for the purpose of angering and insulting other players in an attempt to incite retaliation or an emotional response. Posts of this nature are disruptive, often abusive and do not contribute to the sense of community that CCP promote.
If I realy wanted to enforce the rules here, I would have had to remove most of the thread, including a post from a colleague. I shall just disregard the following rule, for now: 28. Please use the correct language when posting on the forums.
The default language for posting on the EVE Online forums is English. Please use English when posting as a courtesy to other forum users, unless the forum channel is specifically created for discussion in another language as part of our localized language specific sub-forums.

Jouer en anglais est pourtant un excellent moyen de pallier aux lacunes du syst+¿me sans compter le potentiel b+¬n+¬fice professionel.
J'imagine que le temps a pass+¬ car l'anglais que j'ai appris au coll+¬ge (seconde langue en plus) +¬tait plus que suffisant pour mes premiers jeux, fortement textuels, Bard's Tale et autre antiquit+¬s.
Et je ne veux certainement pas faire de MMO en fran+ºais, sans serveur fran+ºais c'est une gal+¿re sans nom ; +á moins de compl+¿tement s'isoler entre francos bien sur.
Mais bon, tant mieux pour ceux ne pouvant ou ne voulant pas fournir l'effort suppl+¬mentaire si EvE est traduit.
Forum compliant version : Playing in English is a good way to improve your knowledge of the language, not counting the potential professional benefits.
Back in the days, the English I learned at school was enough to allow me to play old games, heavily text oriented, like Bard's Tales.
And I certainly dont want to play any MMO in french without a full french server as it's nightmare unless you just decide to isolate yourself with other french speaking people.
But anyway, it's probably a good thing for those unable or not wanting to make the actual work to learn English. |

C'est vrai.
I learned to speak English out of convenience, rather than necessity. As a native French speaking Eastern Canadian, I could have easily lived my entire life as a monolingual. However, I've found that knowing three languages is great when it comes to negotiating remunerations :) |
