Hey everyone! So, I noticed that while some of the automated messages from the vBulletin software have been translated into American English, most of the system-generated stuff is still stuck in standard English (for instance, I got my birthday greeting in English, and a few other users mentioned that penalty points or ban notifications are also still in English). I totally get that translating every single official vBulletin message is a massive headache, but is there any actual plan to eventually translate all those automated system messages into American English? Is this actually a huge hurdle? It feels like a bit of an issue to me because there are people out there who aren't fluent in English or just don't want to see it popping up in notifications from an American website.
What are your thoughts on this? Thanks in advance!

Not a great poll question.
It feels pretty biased.
They really should have asked: do you want them in American, do you prefer English, or does it not matter to you at all.
I'm going with the third option.

I find myself thinking the same thing... Questions like this are exactly what drive me to head to the polls and vote for the alternative, even if, in all honesty, I couldn't care less about the outcome.

Look at this guy... acting like he wants things in American. Honestly, just be glad you aren't seeing that "Reddit is temporarily unavailable" error message half the time. Most of us have been staring at that same glitch for like ten years now.

Honestly, I don't really care one way or the other 🤷

I’d probably go with French. There’s just something about it that feels a bit more sophisticated, isn't there?

I couldn't care less if I tried.

I'm not handing over a single damn thing.

The near-total lack of interest in this poll—which aligns perfectly with the quoted sentiment, "it doesn't affect me"—suggests this topic simply has no future. I am at a loss.
