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 🙂

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!

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?

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.

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 🙂
