    Question Question about Terms of use

    Hello there.

    I recently subscribed to your free hosting with the subdomain mbsi.
    After subscribing I decided to read the Terms of use better (I know I should have done that earlier) and realized I may not be able to use your service for what I needed (my portfolio) since my main language is Portuguese. Even though I would have the site be in Portuguese, Spanish and English, the entrance would always be in Portuguese and then people could choose other language if needed.

    Am I right? Am I unable to use your service because of this?

    Thanks in advanced.

    Beste regards,

    As long as the translation is easy to find, you'll be okay to have the default as portugese. If it's possible, I'd recommend having a front-page with the language selector right on it, something like "Welcome to <insertnamenere>; Select Language Below:"

    Of course that page would likely have to say "welcome" in 3 separate languages, but it'd avoid the problem of not being able to find the language picker One of the other options is the "flag" system I've seen used on some CMS based websites, where the top-right or top-left has flags for the different languages (spain/mexico for spanish, USA/UK for english, etc).

    But yeah, long as the translation is easy to find, you should still be okay to have it display in the wrong language by default.


    TOS breakers will be suspended regardless of race, creed, national origin, hair color, or favorite food. Thanks for your understanding!
