Help in your language
The helpers in
news.newusers.questions know a lot of answers, but we
don't always speak the same languages as the people we're trying to
help! In many cases, the best help for technical problems will come
from a newsgroup which speaks your own language.
These newsgroups are good starting points for new users who are not
very familiar with English:
- ch.comp
- Computer related topics (for Swiss readers)
- chile.comp.internet
- Discusion general sobre Internet en Chile
- chinese.newsgroups.newusers
- Postings by new users (Chinese)
- de.newusers.questions
- Hilfe zum Usenet (moderated)
- es.news.preguntas
- Preguntas generales sobre las news (Spanish)
- fr.bienvenue.questions
- Les premires questions sur Usenet (French)
- han.news.users
- Usenet users, new user question/discussion (Korean)
- it.news.aiuto
