| Feb 23, 2010 at 20:20 | comment | added | Ether | @mckee: I'm not convinced there is an official policy against other languages. I've come across a few questions written in a different language, and someone has later come along and helpfully tried to add a translation. I don't see any reason why we shouldn't allow this, if the OP really is incapable of composing his question in good English. | |

| Feb 23, 2010 at 19:16 | comment | added | dmckee --- ex-moderator kitten | That's not a bad suggestion on the face of it, but would require a change in the (now longstanding) policy on English only. Also, not sure how well this would work for less common languages. I mean, Chinese, Japanese, French, Spanish, German, Russian, etc are all pretty well represented on the internet, but what happens if someone posts in (for instance) Croatian? Do we just leave it there untranslated and un-responded to? And there is the matter of geek jokes. You can be sure some wag will post in Klingon. | |
