This forum will close down and unite together with other Inderes forums

Hej alla,
a short heads-up on this.

We’re moving towards a single global multilingual Inderes forum instead of separate local ones. It means that this forum (forum.inderes.se) and forum.inderes.dk will be closed down during the summer, and discussion will be forwarded to keskustelut.inderes.fi.

We’ll investigate technical details, like saving discussions and importing users, but will get back to this later. We believe that we can create a valuable multilingual investing forum, for which this is a required step. A longer explanation below, shared also on other forums.

We’re sorry for any frustration and inconvenience that this can cause! If you have questions, please comment here or send me a DM! :pray:

:earth_asia: We are exploring the construction of a multilingual international forum :earth_asia:

As part of our Generative AI Business Finland project, we are exploring the possibilities of creating a multilingual forum that connects Inderes members across national and linguistic borders. This will mean closing this local forum, and guiding discussion to current Finnish forum.

Why?
We want to connect investors and companies, and high-quality investment discussion knows no language barriers. However, language-independent natural discussion has not been possible before, or its implementation has been prohibitively expensive. The new AI language models now enable multilingual discussion also in the investment context.

What would this mean in practice?
In the future, Inderes would have only one forum, where the user sees the messages in their preferred language. This would mean that some of the messages could be originally written in a different language. This means closing down .se and .dk forums, and building a multilingual forum on top of Finnish one. Currently, some threads already contain messages in English, but in the target state these would be automatically translated, depending on the user’s preferred language and settings.

When?
We will be exploring the technical implementation and limitations over the summer, and conducting various experiments. As we’ve done the decision to pursue this, it makes sense to close down .se & .dk forums already in July 2025. We want to keep the bar high for user experience and the naturalness of the discussion, so the intention is not to make a half-baked version.

Together with the community and analysis team, we believe that language independence would enrich company discussion and the number of companies covered. However, to succeed, this requires a sufficiently good technical implementation and moderation.

Please, also make it possible to switch off automatic translations for users who prefer reading the messages in the original languages.

Thanks for the message @Aktiefarmaren!

Yes definitely, that’s the aim. We’re evaluating different technical options and hopefully we can provide a top notch multilingual user experience from the start. More about that later :blush:

Let me know if you have any other questions or comments!
