Question by Dave-Carlile · Oct 13, 2015 at 04:34 PM · moderation

Non-English questions

I believe at one time these were rejected... is that still a thing? I'm seeing non-English questions published occasionally, and I think that's fine because Google Translate is often enough to figure out what the question is about. But is this still supposed to be English only?

Badly formatted question: code provided by user is unformatted or it’s unclear what the user is asking. Reject immediately. If the post is not in English, edit the question and insert a Google translation into English for others to understand.

Hmmm, never saw that in there. I just recall some discussion quite a while ago about rejecting non-English questions. TIL.

I think we should reject laziness.

I personally think its a little rude to expect everyone on the site to have to translate ones question before they can receive help. Undoubtedly it will mean that person will never get an answer and so are totally shooting themselves in the foot.

If they want help they can go the extra two steps and hit Google translate for the ease of the people they are asking for help.

There is nothing else to it, except whether they are bothered or not.

That said, once or twice I have published, added the translation myself and left some friendly advice of 'dont be so frikkin lazy'.

I think if everyone starts posting natively, the site would quickly become a mire of nonsense.

Yeah we should encourage users to at least paste it into Google Translate, copy that and include that translation when posting the question.
