Good, interesting thoughts, but I myself would not be interested in implementing other languages. As you say, there are enough translators and anyone who wants to understand something can use them. That being said, I don't think the problem is on the interface side. Apart from the fact that I would never enter (not even find) a platform like this if it only existed in characters foreign to me (Korean, Chinese, Russian, Ukrainian...), English is the language that has prevailed in the computer world. As far as I know, already the commands needed for programming are all English, right?
The problem lies elsewhere:
I come across posts like this, in which the terrible results of automatic translation are published.
It would go beyond the scope of this comment to share my "theories" as to why this is so. Besides, most people know them.
This means that the author does not understand English at all and is not able to notice the mistakes made by the translator.
Often. Now here one can ask oneself at least three questions:
- How desperate do you have to be, with how much power do you want to get hold of a few cents to write in a language that you yourself do not understand? And: can these so-called authors write at all (in their mother tongue)?
- Why do curators vote for such things? -> There are various answers here. One of them, unfortunately, is that too many curators also do not understand the language whose content they are trying to evaluate precisely in the translation of the translation of the translation.
not able to notice the mistakes made by the translator.
Some cannot notice it. Many don't even want to notice it, because in this fast-moving, "get-a-post-out-at-least-every-day" time, hardly anyone even bothers to check again before publishing. There are also atrocious English (as well as German) texts by native speakers and/or residents of an English-speaking country who don't care at all how flawed their publication is. The fact that this might have something to do with respect for potential readers doesn't matter to them either. Why bother proofreading? Tomorrow at the latest, the next article will be published...
