Short version: Have ROBLOX translated, use different time settings in the forums, and have game cards in more countries.

It's clear many users want ROBLOX to be popular around the globe, not just the United States. I've mentioned this suggestion many
times, here's an edited version. Here's what you should do:

1 - Translate the site.
Hire translators or get the community to do it. The community will translate, and it will be voted in (so no one puts wrong translations). The community one is cheaper than hiring people to do it, but hiring will get it done faster.

1.1 Games
Game developers can also choose to translate their game as well. They can get translations themselves or get community approval.

2 - Holiday Events
Okay, just so you know, not everyone celebrates Halloween or Thanksgiving. It's an American/Canadian holiday, and if we're not from there, we should pick what events do show up. Also, when you ran your winter games event, it was summer in Australia.

3 - Forum Clocks and Time Zones
We should be able to put our own time zone if we don't use Pacific Daylight/Standard Time. Also, we should be able to use 24-hour time (1:00pm should be 13:00)

4 - Put our country on our profile (optional)
This will only be allowed for 13+. We should be able to put our country on our profile. It should also show up on the forum. There will be a flag represented to show us.

5 - Make your game cards available in more countries once translated.
You only have the game cards in five different countries. Add more in different countries once you translate.

PROS:
1. Bigger audiences, more popularity.
We'll have a bigger game community which means the game will be more popular. The people who play the game can tell others to play if they think it's fun. They might buy Builders Club and ROBUX, which means more money for ROBLOX.

CONS:
Not really anything.

Note: This thread was made by my inspiration from other people who want these kind of things.

Say support if you like this and want it added, if you don't want it added, say why!

Honestly, the only support ROBLOX has for other countries is selling gamecards there.
And it just so HAPPENS to be all those countries were colonised by Britain in the olden days.

###### They only sell them in all the countries that used to be British colonies is because they all speak English, I'm guessing. Also, you spelled colonize wrong in your USA regional spelling.

######## It doesn't have to be hiring staff to translate, there's also the option for community translate. Plus, they could make ROBLOX profit, since it'll increase the community's population, meaning they might buy BC or ROBUX.

Also I've noticed they don't allow any special characters; and often enough other words from different languages are censored. Support,

They do allow Latin languages, and if you're on a ###### device, you can type accents. e.g. "Á"

##### Google is an American country, yet they have about 100 languages on their site. Plus, people can choose to see or not to see USA holidays, it's not a big deal. And don't say, "ROBLOX isn't Google," because they're both companies.
