Should comments that are not in English be flagged? What if the OP understands an answer in some other language, and not in English: should such posts still be flagged?

    I would leave one comment aimed at specific user if it's non English. When it becomes a discussion I'll flag and want to see it all cleaned up. Commented May 12, 2013 at 13:49

And here's where it's out as official policy: Do posts have to be in English on Stack Exchange?

    This is making me dizzy... Do all of you speak fluent Japanese/Chinese, or is Google Translate just having a good day?
