Helping a user

Postby Kenjja » Fri Oct 01, 2010 7:13 pm

'Kay. So, you see, my friend in real life has an account on here, but s/he doesn't speak English. I mean, s/he does, but they can't actually type up a paragraph. S/he only knows short phrases, simple sentences and stuff like that. Very commonly s/he makes grammar and spelling mistakes. If a question was directed at her/him, s/he most likely won't know what they meant. (Unless it's something easy, such as 'Do you own a dog?' or something)
I'm not trying to be mean to her or anything like that, but it's true, s/he only recognizes a few words in English since s/he doesn't live in a English-speaking country. S/he only learns English from school (You have to take English), and what they teach there is very basic.

Since I know the language s/he speaks, is it okay for me to kind of, uh, translate things for her/him? I won't know his/her password or anything. We see each other a lot in RL, and most likely s/he would ask me what and what meant and how to say this or that etc when I go over to her/his house. Because it's hard for him/her to participate in art contests or to color in drawings when not knowing what the rules mean. (S/he's a great artist.)

I know s/he can use Google, but Google translation is /not/ accurate. -_-'

Also, is it okay for him/her to be typing in other languages other than English when not on the International Board?

I appreciate all help! ^_^
Thanks~

These two are for trade. Send a offer! c: I'm looking for mostly trade-ups on the Main Rares List, but I can add more pets (Advent-list, September-list and even Mainlist Rares) if it's a good deal/a good pet. I'm pretty flexible about this; I can trade them either sepretely or in a group, but again I'm willing to add more if you can offer something nice. c:

it's fine for you to play CS together if your friend needs some language assistance etc, as long as you're not actually controlling that account or using it for your own benefit

your friend should speak in English when not in the international board, otherwise the majority of users will be unlikely to understand.

I was actually just wondering the exact same thing X3 My brother have always wanted to join CS and a few days ago we made an account for him^^ He's under 10 years old and doesn't understand a word english... But I thought it would be okay for him to join since he loves the pets and only want to join for the pets =3 I'll of course help him with the basic stuff.

So he's not going to post on the forum but he still want to get some of the older pets, so is it okay if I make a trade thread for him? I'll of course let him decide what he should trade away and what he want and stuff like that^^ (And of course I'll guide and help him, so people doesn't scam him)
I would just give him a bunch of my own spare pets, but that would get both of us in big trouble so that's not really an option XD
