Topic: Beginners must be needed Local /language sector. (Read 429 times)

Yes thats right. I think newbies or new here should be finding help in gaining knowledge on local board first to make it more easier to them. Also they wont be intimidated by engaging on some topics they ought to know or shy to ask question with. Sometimes newbies are afraid of high rank due to criticism  but thats normal so linger on local board to be more confident and gain extra knowledge from your country men.

For me, it is just a common suggestion/idea. There are many members who suggest newbies/beginners to be active in local board because they will be easier to learn anything there. It is very clear that learning with our own languages must be prioritized. Since it is just the beginning, we must difficult to understand the topics with unfamiliar language. Not in each country English is a common language. In my country, English is still categorized as a foreign language.

Yep. The translation will be in local board. There are already many important threads translated to varied local languages, specifically of the basic knowledge about crypto and forum information. So, basically the knowledge we need is available on the local boards.

Hmm, there's a point, also in my view these announcements of newbies about how they are joining should also be in the local section where the locals can guide better in the rules and how the forum works, Even they can help in improving their post quality as well. At the same time, the idea of learning crypto in the local language sounds good but sometimes you find difficult to find a good person who can convey complete message with his post. Moreover, this idea is more efficient rather than creating a whole thread to ask redundant Questions.

I'm not sure about the other local boards as here in our side there we have just Local thread so for us its a bit difficult to track the post and share it with the Newbies.

I believe the idea of the local board is to bring people from the same locality together, to discuss important topics like cryptocurrency, blockchain, wallet security, national issues etc. The local board gives members who cannot make contributions in the english board because of their inability to understand english language the opportunity to participate in most of the things that are been discussed on the on the forum at the local level. It is not compulsory to post on your local board. There are persons that are not fluent in their local language because they were born abroad and as such cannot interact with persons in their local board. So they stay clear off the local board while some might have other reasons.

Promoting bitcoins in your own local language may encourage acceptance among members in your local group who are new to the forum.

English is not the native language in some countries that have their local board here, and some new members of the forum who are not very comfortable with expressing themselves in English and even reading it will spend more time in their local section where they will feel more comfortable among people with same language as their own. Having someone who shares and translates important topics to the local language of their country to share in their local group is good because those people there who do not visit other boards will still be able to learn from these important topics that have been translated to their local language for understanding and engagement.

I can confirm this, so I drop to my local board from time to time for a new thread about tutorials, guides, and the latest update about Cryptocurrency but the local board is not complete you still have to navigate to different sections of Bitcointalk to unlock new knowledge, updates guides and latest buzz about Cryptocurrency.

Bitcointalk is a complete source of information about Bitcoin and Cryptocurrency, but you need to support your local board for the latest updates on your country's adoption of Cryptocurrency, Also you will get to know who among the members of this forum are your countrymen.

Yes, I also had the same thought as you OP. Because local boards have very dominant advantages, they help the members in this BTT forum develop more quickly. Especially for beginners, in my opinion, visiting the local boards of each country first will definitely be better.

Because on local boards it is certain that all posts/threads and replies, their meaning or content will be better digested or conveyed better. Because the language of the discussion or the language used for the discussion is language that is often used in everyday life, so the flow of the discussion will definitely feel more natural and won't feel stiff.

In addition, the characteristics and nature of its members will definitely feel more comfortable. Although maybe almost all members in this BTT forum prefer to hide their personal identity (anonymous). But when it comes to the characteristics of people, every country must be different. Likewise in this forum, even though the members are very anonymous, when on a local country board, I'm sure all the characteristics will be more unified or more connected, because of course the members are from the same country. Therefore, the discussion vibe will be better, especially for beginners who have just joined.

But that doesn't mean that the beginners who jump right down to the global board are any less good. Still, it will definitely be good, but the plus point for beginners who first enter the local board is that they will understand better when they go to the global board, because they have already gained experience on the local board.

Local board has actually help a lot of people to be better members in this forum. Getting informations from the local board makes it easier for some members to understand better since it’s more detailed and easily relatable in their native tongue. While local board helps to build members in the forum about bitcoin, they need to be conversant with other boards and discussions there because you can’t learn everything from the local board only without exploring other boards too.


Bitcoin is more easier in bitcoin if English will be understandable by everyone. The bitcoin white paper was written in English, so it must have already had all necessary detailed explanations in English. Translating this into another language can be difficult because not all English words can be translated to some languages without having a proper translator who understands both languages fluently and interpret them easily.

Honestly, this is quite true. Moreover, when we are completely new to the world of crypto, we need a common language to understand it better. Maybe for someone who is already fluent in English as a global language, it won't be a problem. But for those who don't, this will be difficult to do. moreover we also have to translate it into the local language, so this takes time. not to mention that sometimes the results of the translation make us missunderstand hahaha..

However, sometimes not many people want to share their knowledge in the local language. However, we can be lucky enough if there are lots of memes in local language who want to share. Like in Indonesia Local boards, there are many members who often share information, discuss, provide solutions, various experiences and so on. So that the benefits can be felt more.

You’re Correct mate and it is always advisable to identify with your local community on the forum as a newbie as there is one of the best place to get a start but I think one of this local boards and threads, especially the local threads are hidden and might’ve difficult for anyone who is in a base to make post as a newbie .
I’ve seen thread of highly ranked members seeking for people to translate their post and those translated post are very rich and newbies can always get it well explained in their local language in your local thread.

Some of these local groups don’t really talk about bitcoin and cryptocurrency but are concerned about happenings in their respective countries.
Whatever the case might be, identifying wit your local community is one of the best things to do as a newbie.

This is one of the best way to learn here especially when the person's language has a local board where they can share there own thought about the market. Cryptocurrency can be learnt in different languages and we don't necessarily have to try too hard to write in English before learn and aks questions about what we don't have total comprehension about the market. It is good and wise if we ask most of the questions we are lost in the local board before shifting the tough questions to the general board where we can get help from people around that knows about what we asked.

The problem is that there is little activity in the local sections, and many of them are newly established. Therefore, there is no archive of all useful discussions, and no work has been done to translate useful topics from English.
The best way to benefit from the local sections in languages other than English is to start new discussions with experienced members and thus share information in a question-&-answer manner based on the original references in English. It would also be good to encourage the launch of translation campaigns, as I saw some members doing in their local boards.

I really support this, it will be more comfortable if a beginner asks a lot about cryptocurrency and bitcoin on their respective local boards because I see that all countries are gathered in this forum and each local board already has good seniors, which of course will answer all the questions asked by the beginner. Apart from that, beginners often don't have good English skills or even want to use Google Translate (for various reasons). for seniors and beginners, let's continue to be active on our local board.

I did that, I started discussing on my local board and I learned everything on the local board. If we don't start on a local board then we will never understand what we are actually studying. Besides that, you will find lots of new people who speak the same language and can become friends for discussion. all beginners are obliged to do so so that brands really understand what their goals are in this forum.

I will add some more that beginners should find out their local board and thread and use it in a effective way. They should read useful contents and any unique posts which have been translated in his language. It's a comfortable zone to read in your local language and also very effective if you have problems with English language. When English isn't our mother tongue, it's common to have some barrier to understand perfectly. And it's also a matter of proud that you are able to discuss in your most favorite language.

Practically an user can read and realize more articles or texts in his local language than in English. And I am proud of those heros who are working for Local sector and keeping it alive. I appreciate some users who make translation of some most important articles in local language. They make it more easy to the local language users. Users can findany tips and ways to progress in this forum or to use it in the best way. I am always a fan of local boards or threads.

It all boils down to the person in question because some people don't even understand their local language talk more of speaking and reading. If you are such person that can read and write in your local language and finds it somehow difficult to be fluently in English, then your local board is the best place to learn in the forum. On the other hand if you are that type that loves more of English than your local board then you wouldn't find it interesting to learn in your local board, rather from the main board. I prefer to read  in English because I understand it better than my local language,but it is good for a beginner to identify themselves in their various local boards.

The availability of local languages is a very important feature of bitcointalk. When you are able to meet people of your locality, you will be more relaxed to understand whatever strange things you are being thought. Also there are people who belong to a country but doesn't have a unified language. The most important thing is to learn from an expert and learn good things. Bitcoin has a universal language which is liberty.

It’s really easier to learn from your native language than from a borrowed language. I think that's why even a local board is created on the forum here, not everyone really understands English, so if you don’t really understand English, then your local board is there for you to learn all the necessary things that you need to know about bitcoin and cryptocurrencies generally. There are some details about bitcoin activities happening locally that can be found on local boards alone, some of them are not posted in other sections of the forum.

Sure, it will be easier to understand if we learn it on local board. The topic or the discussion will be in our own language, so it will be very helpful to understand the content of the topics. The beginners will also join the discussion directly because there will no difficulty in the language. That's why to be more active in local board is needed, especially when we are still the beginners.

Every local board has top members, there will be always many members who can give good lessons or share valuable information the beginners. I see most basic information is already provided in local boards. So, the beginners actually won't have lack of information to learn.

Yes, that's true and I agree with you that the best thing any newbie can do here on this forum is to start from his/her local board (i.e for those who own a local board here) or likewise join the country's local board that is closer to yours (i.e if only both speaks same language). Because not only do you stand the chance to learn how to buy, sell or trade Bitcoin while using your local currency, but you also get the opportunity to connect with like-minded Bitcoin enthusiast in your area to help create more awareness about Bitcoin and joining in forum discussion

Of course, all newbies should visit their local council frequently as the topics there are easy to understand due to the "Mother" language, especially technical issues and crypto analysis. In my opinion, so that beginners can easily understand and learn what's on this forum it's best to:

1. Taking multiple points of view from one topic.
2. Spend more time on that one topic. Even though the material looks complicated, the important thing is to have the courage to discuss the topic.
3. Not feeling “ah, I already know” even though discussing the same topic. Pretend you're "stupid," but keep being curious.
4. Write to sharpen memory on the topic. The lowest level of understanding to the highest: reading -> researching -> and doing it through real action, you can start practicing it.
5. Because apart from understanding crypto analysis, we can also learn to make posts with elaboration techniques, parsing to detail. and can expound it in its simplest form, down to its roots, so that even those who read it can understand it.

This is a fantastic idea, and learning from the local board may seem a little easier and more comprehensible than studying something in a language other than your own. There are still some explanations that, although being given in a general language, some newbies who are unfamiliar with cryptocurrencies may find difficult to comprehend unless they are given a breakdown and translation of the subject matter in their native tongue. This is a fantastic idea and will make learning in the forum easier for a newbie.

I think OP is right in the idea of newbies visiting their local board. The local board is very much important in the grooming of members here. When it comes to communication, those that barely knows how to speak English or even understand English can do better on their local board when they identify with their locals on the same level of communication and understanding. 

Every one member here belongs to a local board and that makes it more interesting and unique that one would get identified with them to learn from them on local basis since they communicate in  one local dialect.

This is only applicable to those user that can’t understand well English language since this board(Beginners & Help) was created for this specific reason. The level of discussion here is nto much technical and beginners have a better chance to get more insightful tips from prominent members from different local board if he will post here rather than in their local.



Maybe you are reading threads on Technical Discussion board which is for advance user with deep understanding on Bitcoin.

I am sorry but I still don't understand what OP purposes of making this thread,
Are you suggesting that Newbies should only be allowed to post on local board? Or it's merely a suggestion to newbie to browse more frequently on the local board? Or are you suggesting the forum need more local board for newbie?

Anyway, I do agree that local board has helped me so much when the first time I found this forum, my first post in on the local-board, and I am so lucky that the high ranking member on my local board was very friendly.

Local boards allow you to dive deeper into issues that interest you. In English-speaking general topics, not everything is always clear, because everyone's level of English is different, and sometimes it is not easy to understand non-native speakers. Therefore, with such gaps, you can turn to advanced users who speak your mother language. After such explanations, it is much easier to return to intercultural discussions. And thanks to this, the level of discussions increases significantly.

Of course it is very easy to understand or discuss Bitcoin for those who are new to crypto using their native language, various local language services are available on the forum, I think this really helps beginners understand the basics of crypto learned in the local language. But behind the difficulties, there are conveniences for those who really want to get involved or deepen their knowledge of crypto. Those who have the will to develop can use Google Translate to make it easier to absorb knowledge written in global languages.

There are so many ways that can be taken to add insight about crypto, moreover they live in the midst of an increasingly sophisticated technological era. As long as they want to keep learning, they will gain knowledge even if the information comes from different languages.

For a beginner, participating first of all in the discussions of his local section is the most logical behavior for a real beginner. But it's a shame that most newbies, knowing about the presence of local boards, are in a hurry to create new topics in the general sections, completely not understanding how to behave on the forum.
In addition, all beginners can take a closer look at the fact that in some local sections, the increase in rank is much faster. Take a look at the Pakistani, Filipino, and Indonesian locales. There is an exchange of merit, sometimes for the simplest posts.
And yes, to increase in rank, it is not at all necessary to run to the WO board, as some do.

Yes, I do agree with this. Learning and being more active in the local board for someone who is joining this forum for the first time and doesn't have enough knowledge and if they have problems understanding the language will really help beginners to adapt to this forum more quickly and so they understand more and get to know developments about crypto in accordance with a language that is easy for them to understand, namely their respective national languages.
But keep in mind that if beginners are only active and contributing continuously to the local board, I think they will never develop and will never gain more knowledge, they must also follow and add to their insights about crypto developments from various points of view including from general/global threads in order to have a broader and more complete understanding and knowledge. For the problem of a lack of understanding of English, which is an international language in my opinion it shouldn't be a thing that prevents them from being active and contributing to global threads because they can use an automatic translator at any time in the device browser they have.

It depends on the region you come from because not every member of the forum belongs to a local board community because not all tribe/languages have local board here in the forum, but the general acceptable reason for a local board is for better understanding of content that is being discussed in a local language,.


More also local board can be more helpful to the newbies since they will have the opportunity to learn Bitcoin in their own local languages which will give them a better understanding of the subject matters.

This part is also very correct,  because going through the post history of most of the reputable and knowledgeable members of the forum you discovered that they involve heavily in discussions in their local languages and this is to the benefit of the newbies who are from the same location as them.

Analyzing crypto or learning in crypto in your own language is very easy indeed yet there are some that know how to write English language and also speak that's why some didn't bother to request or ask if there's a local board for their own language or country then they would be most likely to create a thread in Beginners & Help and ask for help since the language that is used is English which is an international language. If the admin created new local board for each language then it will be a lot of work.

I have felt that since registering for an account and it has been very helpful in understanding every discussion even though it was my first post on the Beginners & Help board.
When I first joined, I activated myself by listening to the ongoing discussions almost every day. Don't forget to read the set of not allowed rules embedded by local moderators.

Since I'm still a beginner, I think the first thing I need to do is understand all the forum rules before entering to share something that I know about the content of the ongoing discussion topic.

In addition to the local language being easy to understand the direction and purpose of the discussion for learning to analyze crypto and other technical matters, there are difficulties if you try to learn by activating yourself when listening to discussions that use languages outside of the locale.
Many of the posts made in the discussion come from people who are not native English speakers so that when interpreted they are confusing. Moreover, I was very serious about learning about wallet security before analyzing crypto.

Yes, local threads are the best in term of understanding something better. But it only works if they have experienced members or many active members. Cause without them a local threads are useless. On the other hand global threads are best for fetching information. Not saying you have to understand all of it. We understand that, many doesn't know English or understand it properly. So if you don't understand part it you can simply ask in your local thread. For me it was very helpful. My local thread is quite active, we continuously try to understand, help those who need, explain what it meant. We have many experienced active members.

I could not agree more with you. Other than getting knowledge from local boards, one also gets a lot of motivation and encouragement from the local people. I was involved in bounties, and after a long time, or I do not really know specifically after what date, I came to know that there is a local board too, and my country's board also exists, and there are people active in it.

I was so relieved and tried not to make any posts there; instead, I just observed them, but slowly, slowly, I got to know I could also post there as nobody was going to bash me, and when I made a post there, I got 1 merit, and it was my first merit too. I was so motivated and encouraged, and I got good knowledge from there. And the funny thing is, I am still a noob and learning a lot from my local board members.

Besides the language benefit, local boards being people who live in the same reality together.
Users not from the West may be a bit disengaged from the central theme of discussions here particular in relation to economics, with so much emphasis on SEC regulations or the FED cutting down interest rates, all of which does nh directly reflect their reality.

Having a local group with people from your side of the world helps you directly discuss how Bitcoin affects and impacts you and you can help each other grasp the concept better.
One who understands English language fairly can do without it, but it helps to get one acquainted faster.

I also recommend that, but local boards cannot cover everything all the discussions about Cryptocurrency, and there are members of this forum and subjects that are not on your local board that are worth following, You will be limited with your knowledge about what you want to learn here, and besides even if you're English is not good you will be challenged to hone your English so you can participate on the many subjects.

Your activity should be based on what you want to learn on the latest about your biard and on topics about Cryptocurrency in general You must cover territories for you to move forward. 

It depends on the level of English we have and when our English is not that good then the respective local council is a better place to discuss or analyze crypto. The local council clearly makes it easier in all aspects because we speak our mother tongue so many things make it easier for us to focus on learning. The combination between local councils and global discussions will be much more diverse with the many thoughts each member can contribute, so that we will gain a lot of knowledge and make it easier for us to understand.

It is an honor if we can make a real contribution to local and global councils because many parties will be assisted every time the discussion takes place and it is possible that everything we make or share in posts can be used as reference material for discussion. If a lot of high ranking members are active in the locale, it will be much better because many questions can be asked in their own mother tongue. That is the extent to which we are willing to learn and try to improve the pattern of discussions that are more focused by integrating the knowledge that we continue to develop.

Explaining something in a local language to the native speaker can be a bit easier and more understandable. When it comes to Bitcoin and cryptocurrencies in general, I think any language it's being presented in can be easily understood, provided that the person reading it can understand the language very well. The only place I see a special technique on teaching with a native language is where the writer gives an instance and an illustration of things that are being found within their surroundings for better understanding.

I don't think any words are used to take off topic.
This is only for those who are new to crypto. If they do more research on the board in their own language then they will get more knowledge.

Should this thread be in Off-topic board?

Analyzing crypto in your own language will be very easy so if you are new to crypto or coming from this forum be sure to be more active on discussion boards in your own language.

There are many high level members who discuss crypto in their own language or this forum. If you follow their discussion carefully you will progress very quickly.
