There are some downloadable forum versions where you can switch the language in the preferences.
Not suggesting it here, after so much work has been put into From Beijing Chinese School, then they are made a normal member and
their posts will appear directly.
Regarding post moderation, single-line posts from new members that add nothing to the thread are
usually just deleted, for example, just saying "I agree", or repeating something that is exactly
the same as a previous reply (e.g. the definition of a word or term). Single line language
exchange requests are also deleted. All the above points apply regardless of the language used.
Another common mistake that some new members make is to use the "report post" button instead of
the "post reply" button. This often happens by people who have signed up, but not clicked the
registration link in the email and so the post reply button isn't yet visible. Clicking on the
"report post" button will just send a message to the admin and we have no practical way to make
this appear as a post in the original thread under the member's name.
So, in summary, new users should
1) Make sure they fully complete the registration process (including clicking on the link in the
email).
2) Make posts/new threads with content that contributes to the discussion, rather than just adding
one-liners repeating what has already been said.
3) Have patience until their post appears (which might be up to 24 hours).
If for some reason a post still hasn't appeared after that time, then it has probably not made it
past the moderation stage. If this has happened the member can always send a message to the admin
asking why.

This is what I meant (not for all but for Chinese speakers who prefer to use Chinese or have
difficulties with English), it's a Google auto-translation :

中文角 is not open to any forum member. You'll have to answer quite a few to be able to read or
post there
After further investigation, it would seem that Semantic Nuance was correct. Previously, 中文角
was only visible to full members and not newly registered members or guests. This has been now
been changed so that new members are also able to view and post there (keeping in mind that the
above mentioned moderation rules still apply). It is still hidden from guests, in order to reduce
the amount of randoms just popping in to say 你好 and then disappearing, never to be seen again.

When did this rule change? Anyway, it's good to know that more people can help answer questions
now.

About 2 minutes before I made that post Just remember to tell your friends not to go through and
add an answer to every post asking for the meaning of some word. This happens from time to time
with a new user going through and making dozens of posts to long-dead threads, the majority of
which end up simply repeating previous answers, and never make it past moderation.

Actually, when I look at the most recent posts in the Chinese corner, there doesn't seem to be a
lot of language questions discussed there. So while native speakers sure are welcome to
participate in the discussions there, the majority of language-related questions will probably
still remain outside of the Chinese corner and thus require fairly good knowledge of English
(especially when taking into account that the majority of people asking them have only limited
Chinese reading capabilities).

聊勝於無啊!! 不過我覺得中文角好像是對中文能力中上的人有幫助吧!
初級的中文學習者恐怕很難切入及理解吧! 我要說的是:
有些中文為母語的人士, 他們可能在文法上的解釋或見解很棒,
但是侷限於英文能力不足, 所以心有餘而力不足.
Yes, that's why I asked if it is possible to have a translation service.(maybe needless to
translate all of the articles but keypoints for Chinese learners to better understand the ideas. I
know it requires a lot of work. 中文角 seems to be a place to practice Chinese.
我所說的是中文角畢竟是給學過中文一段時間的人在練習的.
如果有一個可以中英文互譯的機制, 那應該可以造福更多人.
只是我知道這樣做很繁瑣...的確很繁瑣...

A bit off topic, sort of on topic.

I've been thinking of this for a while and I suppose it's time to voice it.
I personally never go into the Chinese corner because I know all the conversations in there are
beyond me, so I just don't bother.
Why not do it like a institution. Divide the corner into beginner, intermediate, and advanced.
That way the conversation won't be dominated by high level speakers and low level speakers can
role play/chat/etc in the forum that best meets their level.
There are definately a lot of pros and cons to this idea, but could be worth a shot.

To be honest, I wonder whether there is enough interest in that. But feel free to start a thread
and mark it as beginners only to test the waters!
