As of this writing, the Gramps Discourse forum has 9 inactive language subcategories in the International area of the forum. They have been created but are locked. Users cannot post topics there.
That’s because we haven’t had a native speaker translate the “About” pinned message that tells users why the section exists and how to use it.
The idea is to invite non-english speakers (and users with problems that difficult to translate to English) to post questions in their native tongue. But it is a bit silly to invite them using English when they don’t speak that language!
We hope to also have a moderator volunteer too. That person doesn’t need to be a Gramps expert. But they must to be willing to help when Google Translate cannot bridge the language gap.
Here are the locked subcategories (and the number of views as of Aug.2024):
