I have seriously considered starting some non-English forums on TH. I speak a little French.
Do users think having, for example, forums in French and German would be worthwhile?
Est-ce que vous pensez qu'un « forum » en français ou allemand serait géniale? Ou, non? |

When I lived in Germany, I used a German Forum that was pretty helpful at the time. It's still around so, if you started one here, I think it would be redundant.

Right but I'm not trying to replace that. Just a sub-forum here in German and/or French. I know from watching traffic on the site that we have significant traffic from those European countries, maybe they would appreciate a place to converse in their native language ... ?
We also have quite a few visitors from Canada, Australia, the Netherlands, Italy, Sweden, Spain, and Norway. Next after those are China, Japan, and Brazil, in case anyone is interested. UK is #2 after the US.

I follow Trompetenforum.de so now and then but I can’t recommend it. |

In my humble opinion, it is not necessary to have a forum by country, languages, etc. because if you have something interesting to say, everyone is interested. There is no point in scattering information.

https://www.trompetenforum.de/TF/ is pretty good and the tone does not get out of hand as fast as I sometimes see it happen here. People seem more relaxed in a way. It is, however, a lot less active than TH. I assign this to the much smaller number of people contributing.
EDIT: I work in France often and it is my experience that a lot of French folks would appreciate a French speaking site (I don’t talk trumpets, but this applies to other stuff as well). _________________ 2019 Martin Schmidt eXcellence

Brassnose,
one interest of TH is it is International, so you can have information and opinion from « elsewhere », not only from the street where you live.
One other interest, by the way, is you can practice English in an interesting way
Regarding people that want a French speaking forum, it is ok but the past French forums died of the lack of participation…(by the way, as far as I know, matrompette.com is from Switzerland and is quite sleeping).
So be careful, it is the same thing as the Selmer trumpet closing: everyone in France was crying but everyone bought a Bach, a Yamaha, and so on. _________________ S’il n’en reste qu’un je serai celui là (Victor Hugo)
