Hello Mr. Goran Sponja

English is a Language most of the people in the world using as a common language to communicate with each other. Personally if we have my own personal question about SFIor other TripleClicks product well as thousand of services can clarify threw our sponsor or other up line member even they are not from the native country.

I think if is a good thing to communicate in their language to get a better perspective about the whole SYSTEM. But go beyond and get

I think it could be beneficial if YOU wanted to have a forum on your own website in a different language, or if you wanted to do web seminars in another language, because communication is the key to success. However, I do not expect SFI to do it, because I already read somewhere that Gery said it would not be cost effective for SFI to try to publish everything in every language.

If you speak another language, or have someone who can, by all means, go for it!

Best wishes!

Your idea is an excellent resource for anyone who joins SFI.

Imagine if you will a language bank that affiliates can tap into to seek out fellow affiliates who use the same language to communicate as well as accessing further assistance or real-time responses from fellow affiliates.

This is a great way to encourage dialogue, motivation, and better yet collaborative support.

This definitely would be beneficial.

Do you think that it is useful to create forums and web seminars in languages ??other than English? I think that this is very useful.

When A new member include, but not English-speaking security if he gets his Webinar available forum or in his language.

A lot of it is easier to obtain information in their own language and especially when, is not well taught English.That's why I recommend to all who are recognized as leaders in their respective countries to do so wherever there

This is a good question, a lot will depend on the prevalent language of your target audience. You will have to choose the best medium with which to communicate your SFI marketing strategy.

Visual communication methods like webinars could be advantageous as it involves visual communication but in the long run, using a language understood by majority of the audience is generally most effective.

Just my two cents....

I feel it is asking for to much to ask SFI to have this business to be written in all languages.

I would like to have a translator available on SFI rather than having to switch out of SFI to use it.

I have PSAs and CSA's from other countries and I have had very good luck with using the Google translator. Your team can use it to translate an entire page. This is what I suggest.

Sometimes your team may want you to translate your messages to their language when you

Well in my opinion it will be definitely a resounding yes as if you or your partners has the ability to do so by all means go ahead however I only have 2 caveats for you to consider make sure that you fully understand and has a pool of backup support like your uplines and never ever just merely rely on google translator or any other online or paid translator to do the job as it may turn out to be different altogether as the saying goes some how LOST IN TRANSLATION.

There you have it go

The answer is: Yes, of course. However, I think that You would need a good plan for this to proceed effectively. Perhaps a basic webinar system, to be conducted by one or more Team Leaders in the country of choosing. A plan of defined answers to affiliate questions. To proceed somewhat like, as You may be familiar with, a radio program which has questions from the audience.
Build a system that any affiliate in Your downline could utilize.

Yes it is necessary if you feel the need to do this in order for them to advance on their business and if your target audience speaks the same language. It is a known fact that people are comfortable and confident talking to other people in their own language because they can express themselves well. They also do not hesitate talking about their concerns in the language they know because they are certain that they can be understood.

Hope this helps.

I think it will be very useful for people who are non- English speaking. Everybody comfortable with their mother tongue. Then They can answer questions in their language.
At the moment SFI members in my group 20 -30% are not fluent in English.

But I am not sure how will it effect to technical side of the SFI. Because someone fluent in each language has to take responsibility to maintain that forum. DO we have that facility or can we create that facility? We have to think twice about
