Renovation: would you like more English?

July 29th, 2009 by Kiyu

When I first created this little baby back in 2007, I intended it to be for Norwegian readers only — hence all the Norwegian static pages!

Sure, I could make it a less pain in the arse by making it 100 % English, but a gut feeling told me it would seem more familiar and more ‘attachable’ to the readers if I used the language my fellow Vikings and I are all so used to. International readers were a faint idea that never really made it through my mind barrier, and later, when I discovered that I did have a few non-Norwegian readers, I tried to make up for it by writing fewer Norwegian posts and focusing more on writing in English. See, I love you that much.

Since redesigning the layout I’ve been secretly working on redoing all the static pages; Folk og fe were finished before I launched the new redesign, and the latest one to have been tampered with is Kiyu’s Story. Regrettable enough, non-Norwegian readers won’t be able to read anything but my blog entries. So, my dear non-Norwegian readers; are you curious to what my static pages says? Would you like to know?

Here’s the deal; should I rewrite all the pages and make KIYU-SHII.NET 100% English (except for the occasional Norwegian posts), or should I keep it as it is; Norwegian static pages and frequent English blog posts?

Norwegian readers are more than welcome to voice their opinion as well! After all, you do make up most of my readers!

Personally, I think keeping KIYU-SHII.NET partly Norwegian gives it its charm. It means, of course, that international readers won’t be able understand a single word of my static pages. But then it has always been like that, and I sure haven’t gotten any complaints so far!
