Wat about Others?

[prasath_digit]

All I am asking is:-

" WAT ABOUT STUDENTS & DEVELOPERS FROM OTHER STATES WHO DON'T KNOW THE LANGUAGE????????????????????????? "

I've been using MSDN Online India, I am from a non-hindi speaking state. I have a Windows Live ID that I use to logon to the MSDN India site. It looks like Microsoft has recently changed the MSDN language to Hindi.......Ok Hindi is the widely used language in India, but why is it being used even in a developer's website like 'MSDN'. Even in the login page the language is hindi, I am very very angry

See for urself:-

Also in the main articles page the language is hindi:-

Why don't you simply use English?

@Prasath
Would you like to see Tamil instead?

Even Opera does that, the 'Indian' page is in Hindi.
We can't do anything.

As a majority of the users understand Hindi, they have no choice but to do just that.

Why don't you use English, you can't expect Tamil to be added so soon.

 

[veiga2412]

But are they at least giving the option to switch to English?

Coz they have a similar thing on Dell's Hong Kong site. They load in Chinese, but they provide the option of switching to English too..

^^
If they don't, use google translate.

MSDN India uses Indian official language, that is Hindi. The same would be for people of other countries. For example a German while using MSDN will find it in his language, that is German. But it is only a matter of time. You will see that the language will be automatically translated to the user's language.

Although i am from hindi speaking state and speaks mostly in hindi and other time in english. But i am against this that MSDN has changed language. This should not have been done. Only educated users can use computer i.e. the one who knows english. So if everyone programming knows english, then i cannot understand why it is now availaible in Hindi.

Tats right, if ms assumes even an end-user to know english.....then why is it giving hindi for developers & professionals?..........

Dude, you can't expect everyone in the country to know English.

Why ? What logic does it make ? Just because I am an Indian, why should I do pointless things like learning a language which I hardly need to use ?

You are sounding like MNS...

learning hindi is not pointless! it is our national language and we must respect it. See Japan ... see China (Traditional Chinese.. Simplified Chinese) we live in india yet we see al these words every day.. tht's because of its influence .. they use their own language and are respecting it.. to the extent that even softwares come in their language pack.. have u seen any Hindi Language Pack around there.. if we only dont respect the language then no one else will.. I am not some 'sena' member but sometimes they hit the right chord...

^How much time do you have to pay regards to each and everything on this earth?
Just because its a National language does not warrant that it should be learned by everybody.

Tell me, just because you are Indian, can I expect you to know details of the 'Charkha' that Gandhi had used? Can you name me the variety of the wood, size of the pieces and the speed at which the chrakha would be rotated by Gandhiji.

Btw, if you put forth the argument that one must learn hindi because its a national language and hence must be paid respect, then why should one not consider other Indian languages as 'languages of my dear Indian brothers and sister' and learn them.

Tell me, how many languages do you know? Do you know all the Indian languages and their local dialects? Isn't a south Indian your brother or sister? So did you learn tamil or malayalam?
