@eaplmx@twtxt.net what would “Hispanic content” be? We need to start by defining that. If all you meant was having one in which Spanish speaking people congregates, then you are a suitable candidate to spin one up. 😂 Now, I have my reservations with that. I wouldn’t want to peer, nor follow anyone from a Spanish speaking pod (and I know the language!). I am sure others will want it less.
For as much as some may hate it, English is, mostly, the language of the Internet. Maybe in a few years from now will be Mandarin, but I doubt it. The Chinese are learning English in mass.
English may be the language of the “Internet” but I have no problems with multi-lingual pods 🤗 In fact it should be encouraged and at some point we might be able to have built in translation services 👌
@david@netbros.com I think you’ve missed some vital point along the way here… If @eaplmx@twtxt.net sets up a Spanish Pod, that’s fine. Why can’t / shouldn’t he? 🤔 Just like everything else, no-one says you have to follow folks that write in a language that isn’t yours right? I mean are we talking just purely language here or something else? 😂 – To put it differently, I in fact have a few Chinese/Taiwanese users on my pod (or at least I did at some point), they even asked me if it was okay to use their native language. I said absolutely, go nuts! I even follow them actually! 😅
So I’m not really sure what you rpoint is/was… 😢 For example you may catch @lyse@lyse.isobeef.org and @movq@www.uninformativ.de Twt’ing in German occasionally. I have no idea what they’re saying honestly, I could translate, but most of the time I just move on and let the Twt eventually move to “Page 2” and eventually more pages and fall off my active cache.
@prologic@twtxt.net My question goes more by: Is it interesting for someone of our acquaintances to have content in another language and from another culture?
And, how to eventually support multiple languages in Yarn?. Has been a problem on Antenna, for instance, where you can’t easily filter content in languages you don’t know. Or maybe leaving it as English first is just OK.
As a foreigner, supporting i18n has been an interest of mine, but also I know it’s about working with minorities and involves #a11y, so it’s not an easy conversation.
@eaplmx@twtxt.net well my point is this is absolutely something I would like to explore and support 👌
