I think most people, who work with Siemens products for their job, also need to have some basic knowledge of the English language. Take care, my native language isn't english either but in my opinion, it's a pity that lots of subjects are discussed several times in different language part of the forum. Several examples or solutions are not seen cause they are answered in a different language part of the forum. I can read and understand some german and french as well but I can't reply to those threads cause my writing if not good enough. Anyway, the point is if this were an english written forum only, I think everyone can read all others' posts and respond to all and learn from all. One big family, you know...? It could save let's say 75% of moderators work too (reduce work from 4 language parts of the board to 1). Anyway, it's only a suggestion. Brgds.

Of course there are several posts in german which might be interessting for others as well, but some guys don't speak english so good to take part in the english forum. So maybe if there is no german forum here they will try to get help in another forum.
	Have Fun! TomDeWou

Yoursis a good example for a realy senseless post. premium time - small talk time. OFT Yes, of course you didn't like the "funny" idea. Specially during campaign is the time to clarify that. (Specially I don't think SteBo has exactly that in mind). It is not correct in ranking list to include a posts from other then international version of forum.A good idea is in German spoken of forum to have a separate campaign as there have a lot of members which aren't visit English version. Really I am impressed howVithani,Amit_86,Ammy,Lucky123...(staying in English version) are trying to get the first place in ranking list (just they are staying in first 10). Sorry guys - this is not possible. Back to the proposed idea of SteBo - yes, I am fully agree with him. If someone wants to share, to help - (as the main rule is - official language is English) write in English and here only. As there exist a lot of different spoken version of Siemens Automation. Almost all the countries has own spoken forum. Best regards, Hristo Mihalev

They should keep German Language exist in their site. To learn more from the German people, you can learn german, or use translators. And may be I have a suggesstion here: We can ask our moderators to modify something here. When you search for certain subject in the forum, the results will come with your selected language only. I think if we made results for both languages, it would be better.

Roundabout 75 % of the posts are published within the english spoken part of the Technical Forum. And most of them aren't available within the german part. But there is a big german community too. Of course we thought about which languages should be available. And we decided consciously that we will start with these two languages. There are a lot of reasons. One is already given by Ayman Elotaifythat we are still a german company. I'm thinking it is a good way to offer as much people as possible the possibility to discuss difficult technical questions in their native language. It is difficult enough to find the correct words to describe the technical problems. If other languages getting more important here, maybe there will be third or forth, ... part of the Technical Forum available Meanwhile, I have to say, that every idea and every question is always welcome. We moderators are always very interested in your opinions. And of course during campaign all of you spend more time here. So it is comprehensible that exact during this time a lot of ideas about the platform and the community are published. I have to say, that we moderators will take some time to discuss about all the ideas in-depth internal. But all of them are noticed. Sorry for the late reply, but I could type my message as quick as the responses were published here Anyway, enjoy the campaign Best regards CS Moderator

Sorry guys - this is not possible. Thanks UMENCHO for appriciation and I know its not Possible to get on the TOP with English version only. I felt same in last campaign also. Although we are trying hard, its being difficult to get max points for the day What I feel is, people who are in both Forum have additional advantage and more scope so in this way its being unfare competition I agree with you and suggested in other thread that there should be two differentcampaign or as you said, seperate ranking List Regards Devesh

IBN-Service Posts: 8946 Rating: (989)	Sorry guys, you are talking here unfair. In German Forum, nobody complains about the situation, that german-only speaking members have no chance to get at least under the first 10! But here in english forum that has the most premium winners the members are crying (like kids). Maybe some people here are used to life under communistic or any absolute government for a long time. And now they are not used to work under "real live conditions"? I dont like this rush against german language from some people here and I am alsodisappointed a little bit from you, Devesh. Anyway, 2 campagins english + german only is a good idea, I already ask for it at the first campaign. But can not be done as the moderators explain to me already.

In German Forum, nobody complains about the situation, that german-only speaking members have no chance to get at least under the first 10! Exactly this is the point. Do you think that they are not active enough? The reason for that is because there have not 'enough' threads in order to take points. And it is not the matter of communist or democratic thoughts. Like in sports - all the athletes should not take doping in order on START line to be in the same conditions. What do you think to have a three ranking lists like inWeightlifting (Snatchand theClean and Jerk)sport ? Upps, you didn't want to comment my posts.
