For the people typing posts in other languages, do you expect everyone to copy and paste your posts in Google translate, and then get back to you?

What's the point of posting something in a different language if most of the people here won't understood you?

Or are they just trying to show off?

I speak a bunch of different languages too. Should I start posting in different languages too?
I mean, what's the point?
Aren't we here just to get the message across?
Why make that difficult by compelling others to use a translator?

I think the opposite!

Why let English rule the world?
And why should we be happy with English being used clumsily, by people who don't know it well, "just to get the message across"?

As you point out, there are half-decent translation programs available, so if someone doesn't understand your language they can look it up.

I wish everyone would post in their own languages, and I'm always delighted when I see something on here that is not in English.
