Huh, shame this initiative didn’t really go far. There definitely are still users who struggle with English. Don’t think it’ll really catch on this way, I imagine people just assume English-only (+Mandarin and French due to categories) if they visit a forum and everything is in English.
Are there any discourse features we could use? Perhaps some in-textfield prompt going We're a very international community, feel free to ask in <list of languages from this post>
when you create a post in the help category?
Ah. Read the full post. We decided not to have too much mixed chatter in the general category, and as a result English stays the lingua franca. Shame; I should probably ask about creating more categories.
I’d be happy to help in:
- German
- Dutch
- Afrikaans
Though I imagine most people speaking those languages will be ok with English
@das-g the category was indeed renamed because people kept - and understandably so - being confused about the fact that “learn” is where you go to ask questions.
