Re: French Users Group
I'm not aware of a French forum. What if we had a French discussion forum here on this site? (John, if you're reading this, what would you think?)
Just an idea, Claus

Re: French Users Group
I also am not aware of a French user group or forum.
I can see some potential problems with adding other languages to this forum. I'm not sure how we would structure support of other languages. Would it be a single French forum for discussion of all CoCreate topics, or would we need to duplicate the current topic structure as sub forums under a French category or forum? Sometimes people contact me directly with questions and problems but I only know English. We would need volunteers to be moderators and provide support for other languages who could also communicate with me in English. If we add French then what about other languages? I know that English is not the first language for many of the people who post here and sometimes they struggle with English. They might like to have a forum in their native language as well. How many do we support and when do say no more? As you can see this could quickly become difficult to administer and moderate. So my first reaction is to oppose adding new forums for other languages, but if others disagree I'm open to discussion.

Re: French Users Group
I think that the french forum must have 3 or 4 sections:
1- Modeling general 2- Drafting general 3- Model Manager general 4- Customize Modeling 5- Customize Drafting May be one more: CoCreate General where we can send all idea or question about CoCreate. In France, CoCreate is not very used. So if the customer can exanche some ideas, problemes, ... that can boost the CoCreate products. I speek not very well english, but i can help you for the translate. I'm Proofreading for the CoCreate newsletter in french. |

Re: French Users Group
My assumption would be that a French forum would probably not see more postings than the international (English) forums which already exist on this site. If that assumption is right, experience with the existing forums suggests that it is probably reasonable and fully sufficient to limit yourself to only a few forums, such as one on Modeling (including customization), one on Drafting (including customization), and one on Model Manager.
On the Enhancements Requests forum: I'd advise to use the existing English language Enhancement Requests forum. This makes it easier for folks at CoCreate to find out about customer requests because then there are fewer places to check. Maybe we can arrange an agreement that enhancement requests can be posted in French as well, and we'd then try to find volunteers who translate the requests. I'm just suggesting options. In the end, poor John is likely to do the hard work involved with all this, so he must have a say in this. Claus

Re: French Users Group
Looking to the languages Modeling supports and comparing to already known user support forums there are "missing" French, Italian and Spanish.
Officially supported languages of the CoCreate products would be the maximum to add here IMHO. I would start with a single french forum. People can use clear subjects as starting the subject with
If the french traffic is really growing over 6 months and longer the single forum can be split and the threads distributed to new forums (or is this impossible with this forum software?) -------------------- BTW: My french knowledges are as perfect as for japanese language. There's no way for me to take part. -------------------- The url used above for the 'other forum languages' is a REAL english page: I would have liked to use the new page on PTC.com. But this one does switch its language by its own , and this is what I really don't like (at all and specially when spreading/posting an URL).
