Why is this forum in English?
By making Clonk Open Source we hope to get some new and skilful developers from all around the world. It is necessary that these new ones feel fully integrated into the community. The English community has always been a sub community to the German one not able to participate in the process of development.

There are no English developers!
Obviously not. Non German developers never had the chance to become a real part of the community.

Why don't they learn German?
Sadly, every German has to accept the fact that English is the language of worldwide communication and not German. Maybe German shares the third place with French and Spanish (after English and Chinese).

Then Clonk will become an English game?
No. The developement will be in English but you will be able to play the game without knowing any English word.

Do you hate German?
No.

I have to say something.
That is good. If you want to do it in German, use this thread: http://www.clonk.de/forum/de/topic_show.pl?tid=9115 (hopefully without flaming and blaming). Otherwise please respect the policy of this forum and do it in English.
