I've been seeing a few players who speak poor or no English. Mainly from Latin America and some European countries. My idea is simple. The same site in other languages, it'd help many foreign players play the game, and create more of a following outside Anglo countries.

How I think it should work:

On the homepage, in clear view, have different languages usable. I suggest

- English
- Spanish
- Portuguese
- French

(Maybe others, but the Romance Languages are the most common ones I've been seeing.)

This would lead them to the same site, if you did something, for example, buy a hat, you'd still have it on all the other versions. But separate forums and servers would be used on the different sites to ensure that players are with others speaking the same language.

And yes, speaking another language constantly (that has a site), more than the intended one the site has, should at least get you a warning.

you can already change the language of your page, what's the point in spending money creating a whole new website?

You can already chang the language and roblox is well aware of this problem so you're just wasting your time.

Obviously, you can get the translated site itself, but different forums and servers are what's most important, Roblox itself is built on the community.
And if they're already aware of the issue, they still haven't done anything.

It would cost just as many servers, users from the English site would migrate to the other one where they can be with other players speaking the same language. And it wouldn't be a whole new website, it'd just be translated (which has already been done like you said), and with separate forums and servers. The point is for it to be more enjoyable to foreign players, this can be easily done.

Person from other country who does not speak English (translated to English): Hooray! Roblox made it so that I can select a language! Even though Google Chrome will automatically translate it for me! Now time to play a game!

*Game is entirely in English*
