Ehi Paulo, thank you for your post! You’re right, it limits the communication , as a matter of fact many people shared with me the same feelings, they are not comfortable with English and it’s hard for them to ask help in such language, my English is bad as well.
Times ago we have chosen to build a community English-only because:
- moderate a multi-lingual community is really time-consuming and needs many different people
- we have to write stuff in multiple languages and it’s too hard. Believe me, i did it
- give support in a language different from English could fragment information. If I find here a useful error but the discussion is in Russian, it makes me really uncomfortable
Let me give you another example, many people here has understood nothing about the beginning of the discussion and you have forced most of the people here to use google translate. What do you think? Isn’t the same?
You’ll force around 600 people to translate your post, to make comfortable just 5 that’s not fair!
As I said, we can do an exception for translators:
It is possible have a hangouts with team members?
I’m open to suggestion about this topic and I am keen to hear what others think
