Ani met al hadiun haze! = I love this conversation.

I'm fine with people occasionally posting in whatever language they feel comfortable in, but not with the idea of filtering posts by language. There is bound to be someone who will come along and translate the OP to something more generally understandable. Heck, half the time we're translating posts anyway - even when they are in English.

But filtering posts by language is a way of shutting people out simply because they speak in an idiom you don't get. If we had the time and resources to make language accommodation changes, I would rather see a translation request flag placed on posts, so that someone interested in a post but not quite sure they understand it could alert those who knew the language and would be willing to translate.

Best, beth

Are you posting in the right place? Check out Where do I post X? to know for sure.
Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big> <blockquote> <br /> <dd> <dl> <dt> <em> <font> <h1> <h2> <h3> <h4> <h5> <h6> <hr /> <i> <li> <nbsp> <ol> <p> <small> <strike> <strong> <sub> <sup> <table> <td> <th> <tr> <tt> <u> <ul>
Snippets of code should be wrapped in <code> tags not <pre> tags. In fact, <pre> tags should generally be avoided. If they must be used, extreme care should be taken to ensure that their contents do not have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor intervention).
Want more info? How to link or How to display code and escape characters are good places to start.
