I know over a year ago, there was a another member from Guam that usually posted but since disappeared. I think he was just a U.S military stationed on Guam and deployed so no longer posting.
Usually the active posters over here are from the U.S military but they have moved. We have a few locals posting majority from the philippines but am thinking what if STORM2k had different translation in Chinese, Japanese, Tagalog, Korean and other languages where citizens can't speak or read english?
I think it is a great way for other members of society to join in. I think it'll be a huge plus for storm2k if this were to happen.
English isn't everyone's first language...
This will greatly increase our WPAC discussions...

Re: Members in WPAC
I like the suggestion but I don't know how translation could be automatically added to each post which is what we would need to make it work I think.

A Google Translate plugin might be able to produce rough translations, but we might also be able to add separate forums for non-English users. I know that several members of our moderation team are fluent in Spanish... if they're willing to, they or other members could certainly work on a Spanish-language subforum.
We have Spanish speakers in the Philippines and all across the Caribbean, Central America and Mexico, even a large portion of people in Florida, Texas, and other parts of the US are primarily Spanish speakers.

I am not a meteorologist, and any posts made by me are not official forecasts or to be interpreted as being intelligent. These posts are just my opinions and are probably silly opinions.

Great Idea. Why not have a separate forum for non-english speakers and readers? Japanese, Chinese, Korean etc...

I suggest Filipino-language forums too... We have a number of Filipino users here, although I am not too fluent in Tagalog/Filipino.
