Language Forums - Adding a French section

[centreurope.org]

Hi,
Would it be possible to add a French section in the "language forums" ?
French is one of the official languages in Belgium, Burundi, Cameroon, Canada, Chad.... In many countries, French plays an important role, either as an administrative, commercial, or international language or simply due to a significant French-speaking population: Algeria, Andorra, etc.
Regarding the domain names market, it has not reached the level of those in German or Spanish, but I foresee a hugh growth in a near future. And it could give good investment opportunities for US & international domainers.
What do you think?
thanks
david

I proposed the same to RJ (NamePros.com) few months ago, an idea he found of interest but he still not acted.
I am going to send him a reminder.
Let see if Adam that is trying to recover market shares and is working on improve DNF is more reactive.
He already has some experience with his spanish section.

Adam,
I would like to add that the main advantage of setting up such forum is that it is filling a gap. Unlike in German or in Spanish, there's no profesionnal forum in French where one can buy & sell domains and websites. And it is much needed.
thanks
david

Sounds like a good idea to me. I'm sure there are quite a few French speakers over here.

I think a french section would be good wherever there's one for Spanish, German, etc. Anyone marketing in Quebec or France would be interested in french domains in .com, .ca or .fr. Plus there is French IDN. Must be around 100 million french speakers in the world at least. Also, there is talk at Cira of starting French IDN for .ca. So a French section here at DNForum would be good, especially if no other forum has it.

Also it would be good to boost the aftermarket for French domain names... It's a shame that even top-notch French domains are hard to sell

there are more Greek than French....

 

[hugegrowth]

by population there are more French,
Greece has about 11 million.
France alone over 60 million, not to mention Quebec and other french speaking countries/regions.

What does the number of population have to do vs. number of members?

 

[MobileDesigner]

there isnt such a site like this in Japan. Having Asian languages on here would open many more doors like Japan!

Im all for having a multilingual forum. Just Spanish!?

BUMP

What about running at one time subforums of biggest European populations: French, German, Italian, Polish, Russian ?

 

[A D]

I am open to doing this and if someone wants to send me the subforum names I will get it done Monday.

I will need help with the categories and the titles.

hey DCG,
Let me know if you still need help with translations or if you are looking for someone to monitor the french forums.
Thanks,
Fredo

We are open to adding all language sections to Dnforum.com and opening them up for buy and sell.

If you would like to send across some of the categories you would like us to add, please pm them to us asap.

We would need some users fluent in those languages to monitor them as well.

Thanks

[impactadmin]

Pm me the categories you would like added in the language forums and I will add them for you right away.

Thank you

I would suggest:
General Discussion (domain discussion)
Domaines À vendre (Domains for sale)
Recherche domaines (Domains wanted)
Should be enough as a start
