Why welcome word on https://e621.net/user/home is always translated on different languages?

It's supposed to. It's just a little gimmick.

the real question is why there isn't any "안녕하세요?" message.

It's a joke? It's not always "welcome", either.

the real question is why are you so concerned over it lmao

for April Fools we should change every time somebody says "welcome" to how it appears on the user's home.

Not many people use "welcome" in comments and forums, so it'd be super obscure

then it would be best to change everything except "welcome".

And no "bem-vindo" message as well.

Hover over it, it will tell you the language it is in.
The way I interpret it, is that we welcome everyone from all languages and origins, although at the moment there are only 17 languages: Indian(In greeting form), Russian, Spanish, French, Arabic, Afrikaans, Swedish, Japanese, Haitian Creole, Greek, Hebrew, Polish, Zombie, Crab People, Scottish Gaelic, German, and Esperanto.

There may or may not be more in the future.

And no english for some reason... Someday, the following need to be added:

Australian (G'day), Al Bhed (Famlusa), Dragonspeak (Drem yol lok... I think...), Saurian (Nocsemo) and others.

Seriously? We have a welcome mensaje message in "crab people" and other in "zombie" but none in English, Korean, Portuguese, Mandarin, Latin, Australian, Dutch etc?

The first one is OK, but the others... Whatever, we already have one to "crab people".

Mensaje? I've never seen that word before.

Edit: Nevermind, I figured out what it means.

O16 said:

The others are from video games: Al bled from Final Fantasy 10, Dragonspeak from Skyrim and Saurian from Star Fox Adventures.

Sorry, I accidentally typed 'message' in Spanish (to talk about multiple languages simultaneously confuses me a bit)

What about "you're welcome"?

I figure "Welcome" in Dutch and Afrikaans is the same.

I may or may not have put in a pull request to add 84 new languages. :v

Oh, that's supposed to be "Welcome in Zombie"? It always sounded super sexual to me

Though given the state of the fandom those are not exclusive

I don't know if this would be possible. I haven't great knowledge about how those mechanics work, but it seems to be a thing chosen pseudorandomly when a user visits his/her/its page.

Oh, I didn't figured that. So, removing Dutch from the "list".

Well, Afrikaans is a creole language based on Dutch, although I believe it has English influences as well. I'd liken it to African American Vernacular English (AAVE), which is the name for the dialect that many African Americans possess. It has different grammar from normal American English, which can cause confusion.

For example, in AAVE and American English the sentence "I didn't go nowhere" has a different meaning because those two dialects have different rules for double negations. In American English, negating a sentence twice makes it affirmative. There are many other differences as well.

AAVE is based on English, Afrikaans is based on Dutch. Speakers of Dutch and of English would have comparable experiences conversing with someone speaking Afrikaans and AAVE respectively. Of course, the relationship between AAVE and English is different from Afrikaans and Dutch (not to mention that Afrikaans is an official language in South Africa), but from an everyday point it's useful to explain either relationship using the other.

Anyway, as a speaker of Dutch, Afrikaans automatically becomes intelligible to me, even though I don't grasp all its differences from the Dutch language. I also think that I won't have much trouble conversing with a speaker of Afrikaans if I'm given the chance to adapt to their use of grammar.

Well, as you can see I'm a huge language nerd. I'm not sure it was necessary to explain all that, but I enjoy talking about the subject.

Regardless, the point that "welcome" would be "welkom" in both Dutch and Afrikaans still stands. And that's really all that matters here, unless you'd change either of the two to say something different (that's also not interchangeable) so you could have both languages featured. ;)

Actually, that was a pretty interesting explanation. I had believed that double negation only works like that in Portuguese (my native language).

hey, I understand wanting those languages to get some attention, but you don't have to diminish the sacrifice of the crab people and act like their representation is some kind of insult ):

My apologies to the crab people, offend their culture and representativeness wasn't my intention.

p.s. Actually, I never thought that someday would say, write or type that phrase.

I got one:

mi rinsa la NAME_HERE
(lojban)

all lowercase unless uppercase is used on the username

kamimatsu said:

the problem with Lojban is you're stuck talking to the type of people who would willingly learn Lojban.

fewrahuxo said:

The only similarity I see is the sound the j makes. French also actually once succeeded in being a universal language. Lojban just tried and failed to pick up the pieces left by Esperanto (Seriously, who makes a language for everyone centered around just European ones?)

I only know Lojban so I can make comic dubs containing a character speaking in another language, with the text showing English. Same with any conlang. Outside of fiction, I don't see the point.

Oh! we apparently have some new welcome messages. This probably has something to do with that Chaser's comment nineteen days ago .

So, which are the new additions to our "repertoire"?

84 + 17 = 101

By the looks of it, there should be 101 variants of the welcome message.
But I only picked up 99 on my list. :(

Wow we finally have English.

Which one is the Klingon welcome? Also I'm surprised Klingons have a welcome besides headbutting each othe.

The literal translation for the way to say "Hello." is "What do you want?"

Looks like I missed Maltese - Merħba.

But if that's it, wouldn't that mean there're only be 100 languages only?

I think the Estonian word should be "tere tulemast" instead of "teretulnud" in this context. (I don't actually speak the language, so perhaps someone can confirm?)

If anyone really wants to get into learning tlhIngan Hol, there's the Klingon Language Institute which offers courses as well as several translated works, including Shakespeare in the original Klingon, The Art of War, and The Wizard of Oz.

I don't know, but It's surely a very nice thing (In my opinion). I really like to see those welcome words randomly appearing in different languages, and I like checking the user page for the languages I know =]

I just want to know how we know how to say "welcome" in Crab People.
