Of course you can do this, it would be helpful for the ones who do not know English. In my opinion this is a GREAT idea, good to follow. This way you can attract a larger number of people as SFI affiliates and they can gain knowledge and instruction faster and easier.
You can do this applying marketing online strategies but the offline marketing strategies would be as good as the online ones. You can organize offline seminars in your language (if different from English), too, why not if the participants speak that language (?)

Hello Goran,

Absolutely yes, it is the best solution for educating your team and new members. Working in the local language and training of new members is very helpful to have a qualified team that knows it works. It is better to have fewer members who know and want to work but thousands of them who do not do anything. You get a good communication in the team and of course a quality team. And it will also be awesome sponsor.

I hope this is helpful

Yes, it would be beneficial, but it is not crucial for success. Any help you can offer your team is beneficial. Forum and webinars are beneficial if they are well done and conducted. I have visited some forum posts and webinars that put me off, so it surely put off many other people too. I was told from some of my PSA that they almost quit by visiting them. So if you do them, make sure they are inspiring and useful.

If forum and webinar is to expensive nad time-consuming for you and if you are not savvy at them, then you can write articles instead.

Blessings to you all!

Hi Goran,

My answer would be an emphatic NO. The reasons being:

1. SFI is an International business opportunity catering for anyone and everyone. It cuts across borders, culture, religion, race, language etc. A common language has to cut across these and English is the common language.

2. English is the language of the commerce.

3. Can you imagine with our current SFI language diversity if each one wants a separate Forum in their language.

4. Having these types of language based forums would only create more problems in understanding the SFI business model.

5. One of the key aspects of SFI is also to create Unity in Diversity and so let us not create a DIVIDE.

6. As for webinars, just form a group and organize it amongst yourselves, no one is stopping you.

7. I visit the Forum everyday and find sometimes Affiliates posing questions that are not comprehensible but after several probing questions the real questions surfaces. This also provides the Affiliate to learn and understand English better.

8. Imagine the resources it would take SFI to set up the infrastructure to maintain such forums especially people.

9. Use the existing translation tools provided by SFI and other like Google.

10. Suggestion to set up your own forum. You can go to several Forum hosting companies and get this done.

11. It is also important to look at the current demographics in terms of language before embarking on such a venture.

SFI is a simple business so let us not complicate it.

Thank you

Absolutely!
It's a very good idea.
A lot of people quit working in SFI because the language, and they think that if they don't understand anything, than they can't do anything.
But if we make a translation letters, start something like forum, they will be still interested.

If you have time, make sure that your downline get the translation to their language, so the every day work will be easier for them. And for you too!

Good luck!

Hi Goran,

I think it would be beneficial to create separate forums in languages other than English but not here, not in SFI Affiliate Center.

You can contact your mother tongue Friends in A2A.

In Facebook there are a lot of not english SFI groups and you can organize seminars when, how and with whom you want.

You could do it by your own site too.

I'm sorry Goran, but I must disagree with your proposal.
Having separate forums for multiple languages would be a nightmare for SFI.
As SFI functions primarily in English, forums in other languages would have to be translated back to English for inclusion in the main forum.
Having a 'local' forum just creates separatism.

Actually, SFI has taken adequate care of translation issues.
I think that not enough people know about it.
None of the answers to this question have addressed SFI's provision for translation.

When I need to translate, I just use > http://translate.google.com/ <
This is excellent ans so simple to use.

Hope this helps.

I'm glad you asked this question, so I'll be brief.
There are already forums in different languages??, as well as team webinars, and proved to be a really big hit for creating success in SFI.
Specifically, as you well know, these activities have existed for some time in the languages ??of the former Yugoslav republics.
Result is increasing the number of active members in this region for more than ten thousands in just couple of months.

Excellent idea and give full support. Countries of former Yugoslavia are very active in SFI and speak the same or similar language. Many do not speak English and google translation is desperate. We have formed a lot of the SFI group and we manage somehow. Our activity and adherence to the SFI business should be supported.

Yes, it is hard to communicate with your CSA's if English is not their first language.

So, starting forums in different languages should benifit the whole of SFI, as anyone knows if you can communicate you are more likely to achieve what you have set out to do.

Holding seminars in you home country would also be a good idea, perhaps we should arrange one in every country, so we can all reap the benifits of networking.
