What is meta? ×

I read that there were no plans to develop multilanguage support, but as far i could understand that was in 2009.

The specific question is: Has this changed? Could you tell your actual plans about it?

I would like to see the NNNNN community at NNNNN.stackexchange.com or at a NNNN Tag in stackoverflow. But i can't visualize them all (without that feature) on the same site. This community is approximatedly composed by 1% japanese, 1% italian, 10% english, 20% portuguese, 70% spanish native speakers. 95% may understand written english, spanish and portuguese all together, but only the half or less would be able to accuratedly ask in english. Willing to do it, feeling free and comfortable to ask .. much less.

High quality Q&A is not just about the site, is about the Q&A themselves. And if they can't ask in their native tongue ... quality of the question will be worse, answers will be worse, frustration will be there.

I love these sites and the fundamentals, but i just can't figure out how the whole multi-language community can use this. (Shapado is just a copy, but it shows emphaty for this: it has that feature already: You can select your default language, the languages you understand and the questions of which ones you want to see.)

10% english, 20% portuguese, 70% spanish native speakers? Where did you get these statistics? –  waiwai933 Sep 23 '10 at 2:56
I think his stats are only referring to the GeneXus proposal. –  Dori Sep 23 '10 at 3:17

waiwai933: Dori is right. Anyway the statistics are just my estimated ones in order to explain my point. Jon Siegel: thanks for the link. It helped me find more answers from Joel: blog.stackoverflow.com/2010/05/… –  Armin Bachmann Sep 23 '10 at 12:07
