Language

[SLSGuennter]

hey guys.
this is an appeal on all players in the lihl-games:
pls stop using languages which cant be read by all players in ur team (if talking in all-chat then better by all players in the game). this is mainly for the germans and koreans, since this 2 parts of the league are often talking in their own language instead of english i know its hard for some guys to talk english (sry gog) but still it could be possible doing it imo. if u wanna talk some stuff only readable to a certain person, u can whisper him ... but this talking in own languages is kinda disrespectfull to the remaining players, since they go to get cut out.

I support with @greatbeyond since there are players who are not really good at english. I will give you an example as artmas. He says to me and 1006 as korean cause he don't speak english pretty well ( he also acknowledge the fact he don't speak english pretty well and use korean in ally chat or whispering usually. )
to be honest, I barely try to use korean, cause there are many players who don't even see korean letters, but I don't think forbidding using their own language is not good choice. ( Since this could be applied for german, cause I don't understnad german as well. ^^ not only specific language, but everyone has their own right to speak their own language )

I even talk to gog in a language no one understands

Its bad to forbid native language.You can tell someone what to do in an extend but that suggestions crosses the line.I agree that korean are annoying since you can only see spaces.It saddens me that some people in lihl dont even have the decent communications skills, i wont refer to names but i agree to some point that you either need to work on your communcations skills to be in lihl or the communication rules should be stricter.Up to mods now

I agree that we should ban any other language than english - one of our demands to join LIHL is to have decent english and if we let people just do whatever language they'd like they wont learn the english needed to make perfect teamwork. Also we devide LIHL into groups if we let people talk whatever language they want - LIHL is a community and no one is left out -> keep it simple, keep it a community, keep it english!

It'd be kind if absurd to ban other languages. If someone is bad at English, a translation is helpful. I would like to implement a "rule of translation" etiquette that is if someone asks what they are saying in not English, they also use English.

@wolfwarrior i dont have problem with korean only, thats why i wrote:

this is mainly for the germans and koreans

and i agree with krumme, who says we are 1 community and should talk in the same language so ... if the english-skill-level on newvouches is to bad, they get denied (saw it on one of gog´s requests). its hard to make a plan, if 2 guys are speaking in a language, the third cant understand. i often lose send-income cause of this. 2 guys are talking, i cant udnerstand anything and suddenly they send. its realy annyoing and also can cost gold, so it decreases the power of the player ingame, if the other are talking in another languages. imo, i shouldnt be punished for not beeing able to talk korean, and its same for all other, which cant speak german.

Imo people should talk as much English as possible since it's no fun to be on a team which mainly speaks a different language. But an official rule for that would be silly.

diablo 100% explains what i wanted to say with this topic
