i get this request from time to time. my concern is the inability to moderate it effectively. yes, we have francois, who’s already a moderator, we have herbert, who’s already a moderator, and we have me if we also put forward a forum in pig latin.
if this thread dies a quick death, that’s the answer. but you never know unless you ask.
No need for a French forum, they forgot how to go quickly on bikes years ago. Just look at their tour results…
No me parece necessaire!
It might be a way of incresaing traffic to the main forum.
derek
Do you have a way to evaluate the number of people visiting the forum from France or Quebec?
Another French speaker here.
Absolutely not. And while we’re at it, I vote no more posts that include measurements using the metric system.
It’d help me improve my French if you turned the entire forum French!
As everybody knows (except you maybe…) Tour de France is cycling, not triathlon…
…And talking about triathlon, it seems to me that the first French finished before the first American in Hawaii in 2008 (that is enough recent for you i hope)…
But about the forum, i agree with you, no need for a french forum here, we already have french forums… thank you. 
if you do a russian forum, i can moderate. ;^)
Dans ce cas tu peux aller voir le forum de onlinetri
Tout est en Francais, les conneries egalement 
.
Merci, mais est-ce qu’il y a un forum pour le cyclistes?
Le persons qui faire le triathlons est un peut étrange pour moi!
Et oui…www.velo-club.net

.
Merci beaucoup.
Un autre forum ou je peux perdre le dernier de mon temp libre!
Travaille moins

Seriously? A forum for the cheese-eating surrender monkeys?
(I have always wanted to use that phrase somewhere. Thanks for the opening.)

You would probably draw more visits with a Spanish version (and I am French).

Top tip - don’t use it in France - I can’t eat in restaurants here without getting food poisoning!
Absolutely yes! I am Czech and can tell you that this forum has a growing audience in the tri and roadie community in my native country and indeed in other parts of Europe (ST pops up on all sorts of forums over there, and I don’t mean just the UK-based tritalk.co.uk; I’ve seen it on Latvian, Polish, German, and Austrian sites also). But tons of folks are kept away by the language barrier. So I’d definitely add French and Spanish, or, better yet, French and German.
That’s actually a good idea. Instead of a forum in french, why not introducing more a the metric system in the articles on bikes, swimming, and the forum talks. That would help the rest of the world better understand these.
