Foreign languages in HxHD

Okay. I'm deadly serious about this but the maintenance message was sent to me in whatever language it is...

Does the hotel cater for international non-English speaking people?



Edit: It's danish....

Well they never sent an English one, so not really.

Then how come they sent a Danish message to me then? All it says is the hotel is closing down for some important updates.

If they were going to cater for Non-English people as well as English speaking people, then they would of sent multiple messages out in many languages. Which they didn't, they only sent one which was not in English but most likely Danish or something. It is either Staff having a joke/taking the piss or a mistake.

They probably have a set system for sending out update messages and someone clicked the wrong one and didn't realise before the hotel went offline.

It's a stupid rule in my opinion, it's like a shopkeeper barring people who speak little or no English from their shop - just ridiculous and wouldn't be done.

If the staff member doesn't know what on earth they are saying, why would it offend them? Just give the staff permission to ignore any people speaking another language.

And also ignore any complaints from users? (Sorry Habbic/Scottish )

I think they already have special permission for the frequent nagging from Habbic/Scott. I don't see why this is any different.

It should be optional. If the staff choose to translate it and it is offensive, the user gets a warning... If the staff don't translate it, they can ignore it without any response or with a simple, "Hey, I don't understand... can you speak English?"

This is very good, sick of having to translate into English . Good Idea Should be rule.
