I suggest to make a Dutch/Belgium district, because there are so many other districts for almost every country that plays much. Since many Dutch and Belgium people play guildwars it would be good to give there own district.

Sometimes I see people complaining about Dutchies that talk Dutch to eachother in an English district, but we don't have our own district.

Please Arenanet give us our own district.

And there isn't a problem if you make it Dutch/Belgium because we are neighboors we understand eachother, but let the french Belgium go to french district.

i agree. since there are more dutch players then like spanish and italian. and they got their own district.

btw

IT AINT MUCH IF IT AINT DUTCH
WE SHALL NOT BE MOVED

I heard that Gaile Grey said before that there isn't coming a Dutch/Belgium district because we can speak English/German/French, but we want to talk our own language to not only others and that will a English man/women never understand.

Since i'm dutch it would be very cool

BUT, somewhere else there was stated that only "selectable languages" are being usefull for districts

Now.... i don't mind to translate guildwars in dutch

But in Lions, Kaineng, Kamadan are the people. We talk there in our own district.

Perhaps a similar suggestion would be to implement a "benelux" district. Geographically, Benelux is defined as Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg. Those countries combined in terms of languages offer Dutch, German and French.

Sven788 · Dec 12, 2006, 04:11 PM // 16:11

Yes bouvrie good idea Benelux is good because the 3 countries work much together. And we speak the same languages

DvM · Dec 12, 2006, 06:14 PM // 18:14

im not against it nor am I for it, I dont mind so much, im from the netherlands, but my english is good enough, I speak french, I can manage my german, heck, if they had latin I would be able to read a bit of it... but aleats now my addicting is good for my english grade (as long as I dont RA)

Maxiemonster · Dec 12, 2006, 06:34 PM // 18:34

I don't really care :P I'm Dutch, but I like talking English, maybe even more then talking Dutch. I'd probably move to the Dutch districts if they'd be introduced, but it'd probably be unpopulated, like the Spanish and Italian servers, making them useless anyway.

I don't care for a dutch district. Mainly because people from the Netherlands (which I am also) tend to use worse dutch grammar and spelling than most english people do. I mean, I can see it now: E hoest metje? Hebbie nog die kneus gziejn die mending met un zwaard gebruikte? W8 ff, kannie praten, moe gaan, latorz. I avoid talking dutch in GW even. And bout the guy saying the game should be translated too, well, that'll bring. Zilveren Vleugel Slag, Aardbeving, Verblindende Flits (lawl), Schaamte, Onthoofding, Meteorietenregen. Ik bedoel, kom op, dat wil je toch niet zien?

I think that it would be a usefull addition to the young players that require some extra help troughout the game. Helping them in a language they understand fully makes it easier for them..
I myself coulnd't care if I talk dutch, english, french, german or italian.. I like them all, and understand most of them well enough

Sven788 · Dec 12, 2006, 08:09 PM // 20:09

Yes but I'm more thinking why french and spanish and no dutch?
Because I can say more Dutchies play then frenchies

Franco Power · Dec 12, 2006, 08:18 PM // 20:18

Because Anet probably thinks dutch is german like they think portugal is spain

lol

Stranger The Ranger · Dec 12, 2006, 09:24 PM // 21:24

No, just no...
English districs are already empty enough, due German/French ppl refusing/not being able to talk English...
Dutch districts would only make it worse, making the English districts emptier and emptier, and the Dutch translation would be horrible lol...

Aera · Dec 12, 2006, 09:30 PM // 21:30

< Dutch

But I don't really care. English is piss easy.

QFT.

I'm Belgian, and I'd hate a Dutch/Flemish district.
Even though our official language (in Flanders and the Netherlands, at the least) is the same, it doesn't mean we use the same words. Flemish differs ALOT from area to area... I live in Ghent now (on campus), which is about 50 kilometres/30 miles away from my real home, and some people really have troubles understanding me and vice versa, just because I use completely different words.

So there'd just be loads of discussion about the dialects and the good ol' Flanders vs. Netherlands 'war'.

Not looking forward to that.

And eh, those translations would suck donkey behind.
"Ik ben Omkering Van Het Geluk aan het gebruiken!" (Reversal of Fortune)
"Vloek laten verdwijnen" (Remove Hex)
"Jij bent helemaal alleen!" (YAA)
"Ze Staan In De Fik!" (<-ok, this one is funny

)
"Schaduwgevangenis" (wtf. Shadow Prison.)
"Ga Voor De Ogen" (GFTE)

And I wonder how they'd translate Rampage As One... "Door Het Lint Gaan Alsof Je Eén Bent Met Je Gedomesticeerd Dier"?

Bad idea.

EDIT: want an example of (West-)Flemish vs. the Official Dutch?

Flemish:
Yow, kzin dus David, en ik komn ut Kortemark, ne kljin boeregat int midn va West-Vloandrn. Der is ier verzeekrs noois etwuk te doen, dus kzin vree content dak de laatste tiet geweun in Gent weun.

Dutch:
Hoi, ik ben dus David, en ik kom uit Kortemark, een klein verlaten oord, in het midden van West-Vlaanderen. Er is hier vrijwel nooit iets te doen, dus ben ik enorm blij dat ik de laatste tijd in Gent verblijf.

English:
Hello, I'm David, and I'm from Kortemark, a small town in the middle of West-Flanders (it's a province). There's hardly anything to do in here, so I'm very happy that I reside in Ghent lately.

Flemish people tend to type in the manner as I've done here.

Now hold on just a minut, you being a bit selfish and hypocrit in there,

You saying English districts are already empty enough due german french refusing not being able to talk english.

And who made english GOD to make germans/french people have to speak it?

Why dont you go speak german and french to them instead ?

< Im not german or french, Im portuguese and I can speak fluently Spanish, Portuguese and English.

My french,german and italian isnt that bad either

.

So think a bit before you make statements like "english districts are empty because german/french people cant be bothered to speak english", Why should they ?

If you cant be bothered to speak french/german.

just my 2 cents.
