English version

[ericlebihan]

What about having an english version of "les intégristes" now that we have a master of english in the team ?

Hmmmm, les integristes apart? :D

[ericlebihan]

We have a marque de fabrique, so it would stay called "les intégristes". Shouldn't we give a try ?

[kaneel]

Could try.

About the identity

I think it’s better to keep the name “Les intégristes” instead of a creating a new one, but we should keep in mind that it would be really obscure for non french-speaking persons:

• What does it mean?
• It’s a french word, it means “the integrists”, or “the fundamentalists”.
• Oh. Why?
• It’s a word play, because front-end developers are called “intégrateurs” in France.
• Mmmkay…
• And it was rather in 2008, this is no longer the case today.
• Mmm…

:D

Another solution would be to change the name only, keeping the whole graphic identity, but the english name would be obviously very different from the french one. Maybe “lesintegristes.net” or “lesintegristes” (instead of “Les intégristes”) would be a good solution for the english version?

About the proposal

Do you mean:

• A translation of the french version
• A different blog
• A different blog with occasional translations?

And some questions:

• Do we have enough contributors?
• If so, will the english contributors continue to write on the french version? I mean, we published one article for this year so far.

PS: sorry if my comment sounds negative, I would love to have an english version, I’m just trying to anticipate as much as possible ! :-)

It makes me think of the adaptation of "The Incredible" into "Les Indestructibles" but French Canadians have translated it literally to "les incroyables"

I think that the name "Les integristes" has no longer the meaning it had for us in 2008 but that's our name and we have to keep it.

For the question of the content it has to be discussed, some of our articles are very "franco-french" and some would have to be adaptated.
