Title: Bilingual bird and place names help everyone
Post by Mike Kilburn on Nov 1^st, 2002, 7:04pm

Dear photographers

If you are able, please could you use English and Chinese names for birds in the title of your emails. My OS does not recognize Chinese characters so I and many non-Chinese birders do not know the bird photo being posted on the website.

Also In the photo caption please give the location in English and Chinese so that birders from all over (not just Chinese Speakers) will know where you took your photo.

The web is global and I am sure people all over the world will be interested in your photos and giving both the name and locations may encourage more people to come to Hong Kong to enjoy our birds.

Thank you for helping to make good birds and excellent photos more accessible for everyone!

Mike

As suggested by our Vice Chairman, please try to post your photo with bird and place names in both English and Chinese as per the example below.  Thank you for your cooperation.

為方便各鳥友欣賞及明白張貼在討論板的相片，包括不懂中文的鳥友，希望大家日後張貼相片時，請盡量同時用中英文寫出鳥名及牠們的位置，如以下的例子。多謝合作！
