Actually, UZO, the flags on the thread(s) translate English to other languages for our International Members.
So, you can type something and if an international person's English isn't very good, they can use that to quickly translate what you said to their language, which breaks some communication barriers.
However, you can turn the ENTIRE FORUM to another Language (except the posts people make, those would be in English and you'd translate 'em with those nice flags, there), by going to your Forum Profile and choosing your Language under the "Account Settings" tab.
Before, there were no other languages available. Now there are a bunch available that I though you guys might like.
@Penburu Vampir:
Indonesian is now available for your forum pleasure.
