Good day, sorry I'm late. :)
Good to see an official forum to help the non-Chinese-speakers.
If Hipihi thrives as well as it might, there will be the need to acommodate other languages than Chinese and English - Japanese, Korean, German, ... who knows?
It might be good for virtual world producers to seek out firms and agencies that specialize in multi-culturization - such as, to pick one that's been around for a long time = Berlitz International, Inc., the language teaching company - and see what virtual worlds can do for them and what they can do for virtual worlds. Connecting the world's people together is a big challenge, but I think it's worth the effort.
Time to get ready for work. Good Luck with the new forum, I'm sure it will see much use as the news spreads.
