Sorry to bump this thread :eusa_whis But I just saw it.

The rule probably won't be changed, for several reasons. The rule itself is aimed at posts like this:

http://www.habboxforum.com/showpost....7&postcount=63

And if you see the translation you can see why. "BUT IF UZ CAN GET A TRANSLAYSHUNZ THEN Y CNT WE JUST POSTZ IN IT????"

Simple. Because languages are open to discussion, and also the way I got that translation was through the translation of a German speaking friend from another game. The Free Translation completely distorted it. Thus, a free translation also conveys some words in certain ways, and the user can contend that "OH WELL IN FRANCE THIS WORD ENT THAT BAD" or "I DIDN'T MEAN IT IN THAT SENSE". Its hard enough for a moderator to attempt to decide based on the nuances of the English language, but they don't need the nuances of another language on top of that.

If you give a short, succint sentence, with a translation provided (it may be checked for a *ballpark* guess of if its correct,) then it will be allowed. I don't suggest communicating with other members in another language for an extended amount, IE: more than one sentence, as problems can arise, especially due to misunderstandings, and mods would be allowed to infract in that case. If you wanted to keep it private use the PM system.

Anyway, that's why the rule is there

Diese Richtlinie saugt!

Anyway, I still think it should be removed tbh. The rules are way too strict. Have you seen how many there are!?

Yes, the same rule is on HabboxWorld.

A33. Do not post on the forum using a different language. - Posting in any language other than English is not allowed (this does not apply to coding languages in the web design forums). There are some exceptions such as "Merci", "Au revoir", "Bonjour", "Ciao" or any other well known basic words. This rule does not apply to the foreign languages forum nor VIP sub-forums.
