May change my mind later but I see a language/regional based section under a chat, and translations categories (the latter for translation teams) categories may fit, but most other sections should be kept in English.
Regional support sections will restrict the number of possible supporters.
Letting us post in our language and having the translators team or regional moderators translate into English might be manageable for a short period of time, but as community grows this might turn unfeasible.
A plugin that:
- translates a post into English, adding a note like: post auto-translated, and a link to switch to the original content (Show original text)
- let moderators amend auto-translated text
- let users view the contents in any language (translate this into…[choose your language]), translating it from any of both sources (original post language or English)
could be a middle-way solution.
