PowderGuide.com finally in English
We have had the vision of publishing our content in English for over a decade, but have not been able to realise it properly until now. Thanks to the relaunch, a completely new backend and the automatic translation tools, the quality of which has improved considerably in the meantime, it has finally been possible to realise this with considerable effort. In addition to the articles, all other pages are of course also translated and can therefore be read and used by all non-German-speaking users. PowderGuide.com can now be switched from German to English and back via the language selection button - the world symbol at the top right of the top menu. Since not all content will be translated for the time being (see next paragraph), a banner below the top menu will indicate when a page/article/etc. is also available in English (or vice versa in German).
We don't want to rule out that other languages will follow, but that will take at least another decade. The new multilingual functionality is another important step in the history of PowderGuide and enables us to reach a wider audience of interested Freeriders in Europe, but also globally.
Event calendar, weather forecasts, ConditionsReports, PG-shop
Of course, the event calendar and PG-ICON weather forecasts have also been translated and we can already announce this: In the near future, our map sections will be adapted to make them more interesting for international users. We don't want to reveal any more yet! The ConditionsReports will still be in German for the time being, but in the medium term they will be made automatically translated in a similar way to the comments (see below). In the long term, the corresponding apps for entering the CRs will also be available in English and we hope to receive regular reports from Scandinavia, the Balkans or the Pyrenees. The PG-shop has not yet been translated as it is still running on wordpress and will be adapted when we move it to our current system.
