Anyone checked out the Spanish version of RIDGID.com. Just go to the language dropdown in the upper right of the front page and switch to Espanol. Works for French Too.

Josh,

I thought the whole forum would be on spanish:confused:

Why even put it on spanish?

I thought people working here need to know english and to get a green card too:)

But being a plumber how do you pass the contractors license if you dont know english?

I think it is a mistake to put it on spanish. You are just promoting people being lazy and not go to school to learn english.like everything is hand it to them on the platter.This is america and english is the main language

If you don't know how to talk on english what is the point of being here?

Wasting our tax money?:( and taking jobs by doing it cheaper? of course you are doing it cheaper,no overheads,comm insurance,general liabillity,bond,workers comp...

I think you should cancel the spanish forum:)

by the way can you make it croatian:)

This spanish forum has been around for a while. The website needs to be in Espanol because more spanish speaking customers need information on our tools. Just they way it is.

Tradesmen are still going to need to eventually learn English for work in the US.

Ya have to remember that we sell a lot of tools in Latin America as well. So english would be second language there.

See your fixed.. just took a call to show you how.

BTW>. I forgot that when you switch ridgid.com to spanish then click on the forum link it switches the forum to espanol. if this happens to you you can switch back to english by scrolling to the bottom left of the forum and switching back to english.

Don't want to seem rude but Ridgid.com is not a government website. It is a company that sells products to latin american countries and these forums have nothing to do with political issues. Its exactly the same things as Makita being a japanese company yet they have english websites. Funny thing is I live in a country where people are born american citizens yet spanish is in fact the official language. ;)

My Latino brothers have treated me well.We have worked side by side for years.

Now they to are business owners.I know of two guys who came up through with me that I would refer jobs to

Too many White boys think they are too good to sweat.The Generation of kids parents out here have too much money.They don't like to work.They want to learn as little as possible and then be the boss so they don't have to work.

[quote=mrs. westcoast;87693]some of them ae good,and some of them steal plumbers tools and sell them at the flea market,most of them are willing to work for such a cheap price that you wonder how come you don't get work.

It is what it is we both need to support our families. What bugs me is that most of them work withouhgt the license and people hire them cause they dont want to pay more for the licensed people.

What is the point today to have a license in ca???

Roberts framers tools went missing 2 days ago in a very upscale neighboorhood....2 gardeners were there when they went missing...question??? wy would the neighbour whoi owns 1 million somehting dolar house take them?

But like adam said they are some good ones,just happend i never came across good ones.so my opinion is based on my experience

I don't want to hear any nagging towards me cause of my post,you can only correct me on my spelling

P.S- AS I SAID IT IS BASED ON PERSONAL EXPERIENCE
