Oh dear me. It seems that ezboard might be getting a bit tetchy with all the negative comments on their new, flagship product Yuku (which is still in beta … yawn).

Y’see some non-Americans have the audacity to use ezboards presently and have “foreign language” boards to boot. But Yuku doesn’t have that facility yet. I glossed over that point when reading Labatt’s WordPress Blog in which he says that Yuku only has English language support, but that they plan eventually to have support for other languages. Apparently ezboard presently supports three non-English languages.

phpBB seems to support, what, 60 languages?

vBulletin only supports English and German natively, but users have submitted nineteen language packs.

So anyway, back to Yuku. Remember how ezboard said that all ezboards would be moved over to Yuku in due course? Should you be worried if you’re presently running a French or Spanish (or any other language) ezboard? The answer, it appears, is a definite “yes”.

In that thread, ezboard’s staff say that yes, the user’s French and Spanish ezboard will have to move to Yuku. And what of my “tetchy” reference? Well this reply to the concern about Yuku offering foreign language support reads that way to me:

“I asked for a timeline on this and the answer was ‘eventually means eventually’.”
