Is it a problem for you when you play poker poor knowledge of the English language a problem?

that is not a problem, the problem is when the orthers regions feel discriminated, also when people do not speak English, In my case I understand English 40%, sometimes use the traductor :) :) :) :)

Not a problem .. but when somebody types wp or gj you might take it as insult without realising they are saying well played /good job /etc .. happened to me when had no knowledge of shortcuts in poker.. and than ventilated bad attitude.. It does not matter you can always switch language to different one :]

I think it is high time to poker stars to invest all languages translator to enable all people to communicate regardless of which country they are! Or have at least interpreter as shtraknem him to translate all the words!
I will be happy if this happens as soon!

Because everyone speaks his own language and for that!

Vooo.... Exactly ... I Agree.
Sometimes I wonder what other people write!!! Can they help each other, and you don't understand!!

Yes, it would be not bad to get everything transferred.

I was taught English in kindergarten, school and university. It is not a problem for me to understand an english speech. But sometimes it is difficult for me to tell what I want to say because I don't know many of words.

I use on a regular basis translator Google. Translation him bad, but an alternative is not found. Sometimes the meaning of the sentence is not very clear.

for communication, I also use a translator in your browser. But recently it has become to fail. It is not possible to translate properly. Gives old translations:mad::deal::banghead::secruity:

Yeah I suppose when it comes to learning off others like in a league scenario then it would become difficult.

Spanish is my native language so sometimes it's a problem when I wanna learn some poker terms but out of that I don't think it's a big problem because you don't have to talk in the table when you're playing!
I'm English and i am struggling to understand some of the poker terms I don't see often.

If you sit down at a table and tell the dealer you may need them to be a little patient with you because you translate slowly; they are usually very helpful and it can make a big difference in your experience.

It's not a problem in English

Is no problem since the game, practice has nothing to do with the theory. English knowledge is very beneficial and although I was not presented with any inconvenience with the low level of English I have I would say that could present some problem if we do not dominate a basic church at least .. porcierto if someone knows Spanish and I could To help a little with my English, I would really appreciate it.

I believe that the question is another ... anything you do, you need to know English, not only in poker, other online games, mmorpg, etc ... everything depends on English nowadays ...

the problem with using translators is that you would need to be fluent in your own language first and be able to spell every word correctly or else it won't translate properly

I thank the Internet pixies that my browser has a spell-checker extension so my hopelessness with spelling is mostly corrected before it's published.

For many non-English speakers it is a problem here in the forum,but some of those non-English speakers suddenly become very fluent in English language when they feel the need to disrespect other members in Cardschat tournaments.

English should not be a problem, I get upset when some players use another language even if is Spanish, because it could be used to fix or share information about poker hands. :deal:
