Some members here will of course remember --> There was once a german-speaking STK community on the Games4Mac board. Unfortunately Games4Mac closed finally the doors two or three years ago. The forum itself was increasingly worse visited even some time before the closing. But nevertheless, the forum was able to build up a community.
I'd like to start an experiment.
I wrote the following text some time ago in an other post:
XGhost {l Wrote}:The german-speaking STK forum was a very active and lively place (*comment: increasingly worse at the end...) with experienced moderators (*comment: hey Xeno ) and many contributors. I've learned English in school but I wasn't able to understand the discussions on this forum good enough. The german STK forum was my way to interact and share experience, opinions, feedbacks and contributions with other people / STK fans or developers. Now: the german STK forum is dead and I think there are some people who switched to the official one (this one right here).
What I am trying to say is: STK is a game made for children (ok maybe for adults too . At least it is child-oriented.) and not all young people are able to speak/read english fluently which could be a reason why the forum is not so active. It would be awesome if some people here would take the effort to create sites or forums for STK in different languages. The STK website could also need some fresh translations ...
What I'm planning to do:
- Setting up a german-speaking forum for STK --> I will do that on the same server where I host my website too.
- Translate as many topics from the STK wiki as possible to the german language.
- Creating tutorials for artistic work for STK (karts, tracks, library objects ...).
- Creating (and also link to) coding tutorials for C, C++, and how to get started with the source of STK.
The goal:
- Recruiting new contributors for STK! My native language is German (ok, this is a lie --> it's swiss german. And yes, this is different ). I'd like to attract people from this little spot on the earth (Switzerland, Germany, Austria) to STK.
- Of course advertise STK wherever I can.
What I will need:
- YOU! I'll need people who help me creating content. I'll need active people who are able to operate as moderators on the forum. +++
