i might get banned but it is worth it to me

[oldslowchevy]

josh i mean zero disrespect here but hummmmmmmmmmmm, what the heck is this? not sure if such a thing i am about to sujest is real or not but how about this, if you are from mexico and you want to post on this site(witch i don't like, but i don't like salt either)there is a thing that they can spell there words in there lauguge(i really need to learn to spell) and then it is converted to our languge or german or russian ,and so on and so on.that way we could help them , they could help us. dose any one understand what i mean?? this way they can be in plumbing wood working and so fourth.:confused:

[cellardoor]

The problem with translators is that they are no where near accuarate enough. 90% of the time they aren't even within the ball park of what was meant to be said. Like it or not spanish is part of the american society now. Having a spanish speaking section of the site will do nothing but improve it and make it grow. If you don't want the spanish speaking in your posts then just don't visit the spanish section but don't suggest that they should change just to suit you. I for one welcome all the new members a spanish speaking forum will provide.

To all our spanish speaking members:
¡Bienvenido!

[oldslowchevy]

you are right i am not a big fan of it, but my point is this, make it so that i a non spanish speaking person can help with there questions and they can help with mine.it would be great if i could under stand what they write here but i can't it will take to long for me to learn the languge now as it would many others on this site.so if there is a program that could help ease it some (90% is pretty good enough to get the gist of it witch is better than 0%) than i think it would be a major help to everyone

[Polar Sparky 1224]

OSC does someone have a wandering mouse or did you get lost without your truck?

[oldslowchevy]

maybe i'm not making myself clear ,here let me try again. make it so EVERYONE CAN POST AND READ IT NO MATTER WHERE YOU COME FROM!! POST IT IN YOU LANUGUGE AND IF YOU SPEAK A DIFFERNT LANGUGE IT SHOWS UP IN THE OTHER LANGUGE!!! SO EVERYONE CAN UNDERSTAND IT AND EVERYONE CAN HELP EACH OTHER!!!!!!! did everyone under stand me that time?

[sluggo85024]

Ya you want it posted in English.

[Josh]

I understand what you are getting at. Maybe future releases of the forum will support on the fly translation. I would agree that the autotranslotors do a horrible job of translating.

We want non english speaking RIDGID users to be able to post their questions and at very least our international customer service can answer questions until enough of a community grows that it can support itself.

Maybe we should have a learn spanish in 20 days thread on here so we can all participate in the spanish forum :D

BTW... oldslowchevy, it would take something quite viscious or illegal to get you permenantly banned from the forum. The more posts you have the more credibility you gain here.

So, if I ask a question in a foriegn language, then Ridgid customer service will give me the answer to it. But as long as I use english, I have to rely on other members to answer my questions not Ridgid CS, who by the way, happen to be the people who should answer a lot of the questions on this site for the members. There are tons of ? here regarding the purchase, assembly, usage, and problems with Ridgid tools, but there are no answers given by CS personnel. Hope your new Spanish language forum works out well for you and Ridgid, I am an American, using the English language, on an American companies web site. Or at least I was, GOODBYE

--------------
Ridgid markets their products all over the world, I see no problem with them having a forum that addresses that portion of their market.

I don't think Josh meant that English speaking customers and/or forum members would or will receive less attention from Ridgid CS but it sure sounded like that, and the few responses from CS that we have seen over the past year or so would seem to back that up.

There was a time when a few Ridgid people participated regularly on the Forum. It was just before I joined in 2003, but many of the threads they posted in were active and I got to read their responses. I also saw their concern for their customer's satisfaction and the good will generated by their actions. These were people who had the power within Ridgid to make things happen w/o question. If JScharne told you a replacement this or that was on its way to you, you can darn well bet the farm that the mailman would be knocking on your door tomorrow with your new thing-a-ma-jig in his hand. :D

That's the kind of CS that helped to make this forum so popular;
That's the attention that long-time members are currently missing;
And that's the type of CS and support that new Ridgid customers should be able to expect when they purchase a Ridgid product, whether they speak Spanish, French, Latin, or even God forbid, English. :rolleyes:

Anything less is costing you (Ridgid) money (i.e. first time sales AND repeat business). Not adequately funding the CS department or allowing it to operate with half-baked solutions and under-trained people can only end up dragging Ridgid down. This is not my lone opinion, search the forum and see how many threads you find relating to poor CS, way too long a lead time on replacement parts, unavailability of accessories, etc. :mad:

[oldslowchevy]

I am an American, using the English language, on an American companies web site. Or at least I was, GOODBYEpapadan please by all means don't go! i look forward toreading your posts as well as bager daves and cws, lorax polor sparky1224 is coming in as a good poster as well.my rant which has caused you to say goodbye was just that a rant nothing more.all i wanted was(if one existed)was in steed of a spanish fourm was something that would translate spanish words to english for us and translate english words to spanish for them.i really didn't mean to get everyone in such a big huff. i feel that you are a very valued posts/friend here (even when you called my truck a planter :mad: .....grrrrrr)but i truly feel that this is my falut and for that i am very sorry, i am taking this one very personly.to every one here including the ridgid staff i meant no harm no ill feeling no hate and i sure didn't mean to cause any loss of members i am very sorry:( .

It is in no way your fault I got a response from him at about 7:30 P.M.

"I could care less about the forum. It is the fact that Ridgid will help them and we can't get a reply out of them. Yes it hit a nerve. Dan"

Bad costumer service = bad reputation = decrease in sales because of decreasing word of mouth advertising. :mad: :mad: :mad: :mad:

Sad man + $$$$$$ = man with woman.:D :D

Man with 2000 dollars can buy most of the tools he needs for a new workshop, But he will only spend it on things he feels are worth it.

We don't care about the price of tea in china, it's the cost of copper that scares me.

Not only is Mexico making Dewalt Power Tools, they also supply the workers to use them.

[PLUMBER RICK]

first it was plumber getting taken out by the electricians and the mole:eek:

next it was papadan getting taken out by a spanish link:eek:

and i thought plumbing was dangerous:confused:

the more people that post here on these forums, the less ridgid c.s needs to help. there are some very sharp contributors that always seem to give real world advise to the real world users:rolleyes:

that said, if you don't want to help others, others will.

ridgid has provided the forum. it's all of us that help and share.

papadan needs a little cooling off. he will come back:)
plumber is back and kicking:)
even the dog is off his leash:D

[Kev Dog]

Well said Rick!!!!

[Josh]

Papadan, If you remember this Forum started 5 years ago with Jake Schnare (I think he had over 700 posts) posting every day on the forum. If we dont have active moderation early in a forum it just doesnt survive. A spanish forum will have very very little use early in its lifecycle. I used to be thrilled with 3 posts a WEEK on this forum when it first started out. Jake really helped the forum grow by his participation. And yes he did help out some of the customers on the forum directly.

I never intended this forum to be the means by which we perform customer service or tech service. We jump in on some threads that need replied to occasionally. We are watching and we often contact customers by other means other than the forum (emails, pm)

PLEASE REREAD MY POST... especially this part at very least our international customer service can answer questions until enough of a community grows that it can support itself.

I never said they are going to be performating customer service over the forums.

Without short term participation in the forum by our Spanish speaking customer service do you really thing the Spanish forum would go anywhere?

If you would like a huge list of example threads where our people have posted in reply to questions, concerns, problems. then I could provide well over 200.

If the spanish forum bothers you please just ignore it. I put it at the bottom of the entire forum. We have an international customer base and I want them to be able to participate in these forums. I feel that the forums are a great way to hear what is important to our customer and to interact with them.

Please don't leave Papadan :( you are an important part of this forum. I didnt mean to offend you in any way.

Hasta La Vista,

Josh

[franklie]

Le agradezco por las buenas intenciones de usted. Porque estamos en el foro del español, creo que debemos escribir en el mismo idioma, ¿no?

El incluir de otros idiomas puede solamente mejorar el reconocimiento del Ridgid como una empresa que toma en cuenta sus clientes.:D :D :D

Saludos cordiales

[Bob D.]

"...We are watching and we often contact customers by other means ..."

Josh, this is the part that we seldom (almost never) hear about, so unfortunately I (and probably others) assume that our questions, comments, and concerns fall on deaf ears or that even though people are watching and reading, they don't care enough to reply.

Now I can certainly understand why CS doesn't or would rather not get drawn into discussions or into handling CS issues here, this forum can be like a bad case of road rage at times. It's not the correct venue for issues that are best handled on a one-to-one basis, not in a forum where if Ridgid chooses to replace Customer X's tool everyone else who has a problem no matter what the reason will expect the same treatment ... because they read that X's problem was dealt with in that manner.

I think the TS-3650 arbor issue kinda bears this line of thinking out. Maybe some are forgetting how that whole issue played out (myself included), it didn't go well for anyone. People who received replacement arbors were upset that they would have to haul their saw to the nearest service center to have the arbor replaced. Others were steaming about the long wait for the part, and it went on and on. Looking back on it now it was like no matter what Ridgid did it wasn't seen as being enough.

So, as I said before, "Ridgid markets their products all over the world, I see no problem with them having a forum that addresses that portion of their market." If you don't want to help the people who frequent the other areas of the forum, don't go there.

[Josh]

I dont think I am getting the point of customer service participating across to some of you. Read it this way.... We will have to have someone who speaks spanish check in on these forums so we can jump start them. We took this same approach with every forum we have up in the beggining.

I am not able to read every post made on the forum. If you really need something taken care of please call customer service. I will do what I can here but the forum is such a tiny part of my responsibilities here. I believe there is a lot of value to the forums and I care about the community here. More and more management is taking notice of the forums. As time goes on I am sure participation will grow as well on our part.

I still feel that the forum provides a lot of value without guaranteed response on our part. I meant the forum to be a community of professional tool users.

Thanks for the input guys, Please don't be jeleous of the spanish forum with 1 post ;)

Josh

[ToUtahNow]

I guess I'm confused. Is this Forum just visible to computers located in English speaking countries or is it visible Internationally? I agree illegal immigaration is hurting many in the trades but isn't this site available to Spanish speaking trades persons in other countries? If you are non-Spanish speaking just stay out of the Forum.Mark

[Josh]

We are international. We have customers in Latin America, I want to provide the forum for them. Spanish speaking Americans will probably use the forum as well.

The forums are visible to everyone. In fact the interface can be set to spanish by selecting from the dropdown in the lower right of your window.

Josh

[cjh20]

Josh,
It makes perfect sense for a global company to expand an existing product (in this case a forum) to its international customer base. I understand that such an expansion requires increased initial input from the company, in this case customer service employees responding to the Spanish language forum.

Will your customer service reps occasionally act as translators for questions that they can’t answer and, if so, where will that be posted? Of course by acting as translators they may assume a level of liability, so you might want to translate your disclaimer to Spanish.

[Josh]

I dont forsee a big need for translation to start out. I hope that we have around 10 members or more who speak....rrr type... fluent spanish to answer questions. If customer service needs to answer something then so be it. We just dont want someone posting something and not getting a response for a month.

Josh

[franklie]

Josh,

awhile back there was a Spanish thread from a sewer company in Argentina. Why don't you move that thread to this forum and any others that are in Spanish? that way there is an example for our Latino friends to view and to give them courage to post in this forum.

Saludos,

[VASandy]

PapaDan, please don't go! I seriously doubt Ridgid had any ulterior motive in putting up a Spanish language section. They are (as Josh has said) an international company and apparently have a lot of spanish speaking customers. America is founded upon the principals of equality. By having a spanish section, I don't think that they're doing anything wrong. As opposed as I am to illegal immigration, and think we should require legal immigrants to learn english (at least I'd be able to get a burger at the fast food joint), I don't feel that we should force a company to be entirely and singularly English biased.

PapaDan, I value your opinion and your help. Please don't leave!

Teddy Roosevelt wrote:

"In the first place we should insist that if the immigrant who comes here does in good faith become an American and assimilates himself to us, he shall be treated on an exact equality with every one else, for it is an outrage to discriminate against any such man because of creed or birthplace or origin. But this is predicated upon the man’s becoming in very fact and American and nothing but an American.

"If he tries to keep segregated with men of his own origin and separated from the rest of America, then he isn't doing his part as an American.

"We have room for but one flag, the American flag, and this excludes the red flag which symbolizes all wars against liberty and civilization just as much as it excludes any foreign flag of a nation to which we are hostile. We have room for but one language here and that is the English language, for we intend to see that the crucible turns our people out as Americans, and American nationality, and not as dwellers in a polyglot boarding house; and we have room for but one soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the American people."

Wow. Illegal and legal Mexicans alike are stealing jobs from skilled Americans where I live in central Florida. The Pro Press system makes this even worse for a scum bag employer. The Mexicans are lowering wages for all tradesmen.

[Henry 55]

I have been reading enough complaining that it is just sick.
I have a problem with illegal immagrants, but i have a bigger problem with people who feel that english is the only language out there. I only speak English and have no intent of learning other languages including Spanish. We are suppose to be more educated than the generation before, but obviously some of you are still a generation behind. Since most of tools you are buying from ridgid are being made over seas, i think that they should put the instructions in the language of the country they are being built in and then try and ask someone to translate. makes sense to me. i have many ridgid delta and millwaukee tools and couldn't give a rat's @%##$ about what language another person speaks.
As far as stealing jobs away from people in central florida. I am sorry to hear that. I ive in minnesota in a big farming community and we have many spanish speaking americans here. Are they a part of the work force, YES. Don't blame the race, blame the company that is hiring. write letters to local newspapers, contact congressman. if you haven't done anything other than complain, your complaints mean nothing. instead of pointing out a problem, come up with a solution. we need to tighten our borders to keep our country safe and take care of legal citizens so we are not going hungry.
I don't know what people expect out of ridgid. they are a global company with global needs. they are trying to open up new markets around the world an gain more sales. they are being competative in a global economy. the only way to solve a problem like this is to buy american built.
there are more issues in the world to worry about right now. Our president has us in a major conflict that our soldiers are dying in daily. there are more things to worry about than language issues.

[PLUMBER RICK]

Wow. Illegal and legal Mexicans alike are stealing jobs from skilled Americans where I live in central Florida. The Pro Press system makes this even worse for a scum bag employer. The Mexicans are lowering wages for all tradesmen.

i doubt it's a propress issue. i think it's more of a contractor issue. if these people you claim are lowering wages, then it has to be the people and contractors that are hiring them to blame.
there are a whole lot less expensive systems a person can install than propress. like pcv, cpvc,abs, csst. thes require less than a $100 investment. a propress system requires a min. of $1,800 all the way up to $4,600.

it's more like lowering the quality of the installation. this is once again the fault of he contractor or homeowner for hiring underskilled and non-skilled workers. by the way, i see it in every skin color and every trade and every price level.

This is a virtual community, just like in the Stickley days where craftsmen and craftswomen can exchange information. We just don't have to live in the same town or even the same country. Or even speak the same language. And I'll bet if I work a little harder, better and smarter I'll keep my job or maybe even get a better one.

Wikipedia definition of a forum;
"
An Internet forum is a facility on the World Wide Web (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/World_Wide_Web) for holding discussions, or the web application (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Web_application) software used to provide the facility. Web-based forums, which date from around 1995, perform a similar function as the dial-up bulletin boards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_systems) and Internet newsgroups (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newsgroup) that were numerous in the 1980s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1980s) and 1990s (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/1990s). A sense of virtual community (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Virtual_community) often develops around forums that have regular users. Technology (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technology), computer games (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Computer_game), and politics (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Politics) are popular areas for forum themes, but there are forums for a huge number of different topics [1] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum#_note-0).
Internet forums are also commonly referred to as web forums, message boards, discussion boards, discussion forums, discussion groups, bulletin boards (but see also dial-up bulletin boards (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bulletin_board_system)), fora[2] (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Internet_forum#_note-1) (the Latin (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Latin) plural) or simply forums.

Rafael, Read into it if you must, but you are sadly mistaken. you can pick and choose what you want to read in my last post and that is your selective skills you have mastered. if you would have read my first sentence, you would have read that i am not in favor of illegals. everyone should cross the boarder legally. if you feel that i am wrong in my first post, what have you done personally to stop this problem. you live close enough to the boarder. come up with a solution and let me know.
slow moving post.. my last post was over 4 months ago. you were a little slow getting to it. the subject was dead...

[Rafael]

Don't blame the race, blame the company that is hiring.

That's what I based my reply on. If my inference is wrong I dont know how.
I dont blame the race, I blame the criminal. AFAIK, there are many races who are illegally entering our country.

Here is an example of a fairly good online translation program. I've used it many times converting english to Japanese when I email ebay buyers in Japan.

This is a post from this board.

Others were steaming about the long wait for the part, and it went on and on. Looking back on it now it was like no matter what Ridgid did it wasn't seen as being enough.

Here is the Spanish translation.

En español:
Josh, éste es la pieza que (casi nunca) oímos raramente alrededor, tan desafortunadamente I (y probablemente otros) asumimos que comentan nuestras preguntas, y las preocupaciones nos caemos en los oídos sordos o que aunque la gente es que mira y de lectura, ella no cuida bastante para contestar. Ahora puedo entender ciertamente porqué el CS no lo hace ni conseguiría algo dibujado dentro de discusiones o en la manipulación del CS publica aquí, este foro puedo ser como un mal caso de la rabia del camino ocasionalmente. No está el lugar correcto para las ediciones que se manejan lo más mejor posible sobre una base una por, no en un foro donde si Ridgid elige substituir a cliente la herramienta de X cada uno quién tiene un problema no importa qué la razón contará con el mismo tratamiento... porque leen que el problema del x fue ocupado de esa manera. Pienso los osos de la edición del cenador TS-3650 un poco esta línea del pensamiento hacia fuera. Algunos se están olvidando quizá de cómo esa edición entera jugó hacia fuera (misma incluido), él no fueron bien para cualquier persona. Pueble quién recibió los cenadores del reemplazo estuvo trastornada que tendrían que acarrear su sierra al centro de servicio más cercano para hacer el cenador substituir. Otros cocían al vapor sobre la espera larga para la pieza, y se encendió encendido y. El parecer trasero en él ahora él estaba como no importa qué Ridgid lo hizo no fue visto como siendo bastante. Como I dijo antes, "Ridgid pone sus productos todo sobre el mundo, no veo así pues, ningún problema con ellos que tienen un foro que trate esa porción de su mercado." Si usted no desea ayudar a la gente que frecuenta las otras áreas del foro, no van.


And here is the Spanish translation copied and then converted back to english. We'll see how well it does.

Josh, this one is piece that (almost never) we heard rarely around, so unfortunately I (and probably others) we assumed that questions comment our, and preoccupations we fall in ears deaf or that although people are that she watches and of reading, she does not take care of enough to answer. Now I can understand certainly porqué the CS she does not do nor she would obtain it something drawn within discussions or in the manipulation of the CS she publishes, this forum here I can badly be as a case of the rage of the way occasionally. It is not the correct place for the editions that are handled more better possible on a base one by, not in a forum where if Ridgid chooses to replace client the tool of X each one who has a problem she does not matter what the reason will count on the same treatment... because they read that the problem of the x was occupied of that way. I think the bears of the edition of cenador TS-3650 a little this line of the thought towards outside. Some are forgetting perhaps how that whole edition played towards outside (same including), he were not well for any person. Populate who received the cenadores of the replacement was upset that they would have to carry his mountain range to the center on watch closest to make the cenador replace. Others cooked to the steam on the long delay for the piece, and ignition ignited and. Back seeming in him now it was as he does not matter what Ridgid did it was not seen like being enough. As I said before, "Ridgid puts its products everything on the world, I do not see therefore, no problem with them who have a forum that deals with that portion its market." If you do not wish to help the people who frequent the other areas of the forum, they do not go.

What does your spell checker do with the word "chitlins" ?

sorry guys i just don't know what is up with dog i never once have said a dang thing to "dog" and i don't give advise about plumbing, so i have no idea what his problem is. i do know that if my dog gets aggressive i would take him to the vets to get neutered though, maybe that is what he needs.

[RiR]

Don't do that OSC! Think of the entertainment that we get, when you, and quite a few others "have a go" at the Dog! You wouldn't take the cartoon strips out of your local newspaper ,would you?

Oldslowchevy,

If you are wondering what's up with Dog, I'll explain it to you. This particular forum was set up for Spanish speaking Ridgid customers. People like Cloacas Argentinas. He has been posting alot tring to get this forum going. If you bothered to check, he is posting from Argentina.

For some reason you had a problem with this forum, if not you would not have bothered to start this thread on a forum based on a language you don't understand. In addition you threw a post on here that I think gives a bad name to Americans.

I agree that those who live here should learn English, but what about people who live in Argentina? Are they not welcome here? Can they not call here?

You made a joke at the expense of those not proficient in English. I turned it around and made the same joke about you. Your response was to physically threaten me. Which by the way I don't appreciate.

I would come down to Florida to take you up on your offer, but I wouldn't know what swamp to look for your trailer in.

ok puppy please read the 1st 3rd and the 5th post in this thread if you notice they are by me stating to add a translator so i could help them and they could help me so your argument is both lame and pointless. as far as the press on joke please read at the bottom where it was sent to me in an email. but i do mean it towards illegals that come here and steal jobs from americans and legal immigrates from all nations not just those from mexico. as far as you not liking my jokes about you is well to bad i don't like people calling me out the way you did and i still don't and as far as not knowing where to find me well here let me make it easy on you ok . meehan ave port charlotte florida 33952.
so when you realize the error of your ways and apologize then i will but until then get your rabies shots and stay on the porch. golly i feel better already.

osc, not sure if you want your address posted. you might get more than a ridgid calendar in the mail:eek:

i did get a laugh on your link:D

at this point, both you and the dog are going to kill this thread:rolleyes:

lets start on a fresh new leg, tire, paw;)

rick.

[oldslowchevy]

rick you are right about the address so i deleted the numbers just now. but pup is tring to make a point and to me it is very very weak and to say some crap about me living in a trailer in a swamp just pissed me off royaly. so i figured i would post the address so i can take him on a tour of the everglades. he says i am starting crap with people like Cloacas Argentinas but if you read posts 1 3 5 it is clear that i am not.

Ok guys... thread closed. I never knew this forum would create such a controversy. Dog and Oldslow just cool of and lets let this go. You both have your pride hurt a little bit but we dont want this going on forever.
