Question International Pentax Forum has me surprised !

**jpzk** · 03-15-2012, 06:57 PM

Why am I seeing all sorts of threads in different languages intermingled with the "original" English version, a shown here for instance:
https://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/search.php?searchid=5966558 ?

Hey ! I don't mind ... and I don't care if that is intentional ... just wanted to know.

I thought this was a website language mix up at first.

Adam's translation service raised the per-character price to an unsustainable level. Rather than lose members he's given them native-tongue Forums. We have to block those Forums individually in My Account >> Edit Options >> at the bottom (Ignore Forums). Hold down CTRL key and click all the foreign language Forums then Save Changes.

Yeah, as much as I wish we could have the auto translations, all the API providers have pretty much made an site our size impossible to translate server-side. Plus, it was causing some issues which we're now free of, so in a way, it's a win-win!

Gotcha !

Thanks for the hint ... I was going to search for a filtering method.
The different languages all mixed up in a list of threads mess with my brains!

Thanks
