Hello wonder what that would be nice, but how do we have 2 million people here on SFI and would seize impossible to create various forums in their own language, then people would look at only those in his own language then so as to create different groups of people rather than unite them. in my opinion it is much better as well as using a cumune tradutore you can interact with everyone and does not create individual forum for language that would then know that confusione.Spero this helps.

There is no doubt that it would help non-English speaking members to have separate forums and web seminars.

My answer to this issue is:
Why doesn't SFI have a translation feature on the site? This is an international company. I believe that it is wrong to assume that all members are English speaking. Even though people may speak English they cannot necessarily read English and visa-versa.

If SFI had a translation feature then like countrymen could easily communicate with

Hello Goran,

For the people from your country, who are not very good in English, I would advise you to do web seminars in your own language. For my new PSAs I make short web seminars in my language for the people from my country and in English for international affiliates.

What has happened to me, is that I got a new PSA who is not from my country and is not good in English at all!!! So I made a support group and explained everything in pictures - Fast Track, daily tasks, weekly

In my opinion I think that it is a very brilliant idea to create resources online that can help affiliates learn how to build a business on SFI because lots of affiliates come from other countries and obviously do not speak English very well. You can create your own network to help non English Speakers to advertise and much more.

You can set up your websites on Wordpress, or create a blog on Blogspot or you can even check out Global Domains International to set up your forum, seminar

Mr. Goran, great question!
We all know that there is a forum to voice our area.
And a forum on business SFI lead the team leaders and members of these forums are in their upline
Not everybody who works SFI to be a member.My desire is to create a forum for all of us in the SFI and the same language area.
But the question: Who's going to make this forum for us?
All are associated with its affiliates and do not want to waste time on the others.
And what do we, who are not

I know SFI has a translate this page button and we have a lot of affiliates on SFI that don't speak English. What I would like to see in stead of having different forums for these people is a drop down box that they can open and click their language and it is automatically changed into their own language. In fact I would like to see a drop down box at the affiliate center to help them read everything in their own language without having to leave SFI. Hope this helps. Thank you for letting me

No, this is for several reasons that we need to see:

1. English is the lingua franca of the SFI
2. Almost all SFI Members understand English and if a language other than English will be a problem for them to translate. This would be perceived as a waste and increase the burden on them.

I think even if we are not proficient in English, but if it is done repeatedly will increase our proficiency in English Language. We can assume that learning English like as we carry out

SFI should create separate forums and do web seminars in different languages because the SFI team consist of people of different nationalities.This would create a more homely environment for those who cannot understand English.To me this will also make them feel like more part of the team.For Together Everyone Achieves More.

Yes, but only if the purpose of separate forums and web seminars is to give affilitates "inter" support. A lot of affilitates do not understand English - do not think that forums and seminars on other languages will cause their better engagement. Because of simple reason - they cant read and speak English. SFI page is on English. Everything you write and want to be understandable must be in English. And finaly, my Ask SC Answer must be submited only in... English.

Kind regards!

Hi,Goran

Of course, it would be more than useful to create a forum to non English-speaking area, especially for new members who are just getting acquainted with the job and poor understanding of the English language. At a regional forum can find lots of practical advice on how to start the business and to continue to successfully grow your business. Many will agree with me that there are a lot of vague terms in English that is easier to explain and understand in regional language.
