SQLA v2: Are there plans to support questions in different languages?

Just a simple question:

There have been attempts in the last years to support NNTP groups in non-English languages (at least there has been a ianywhere.public.german.general group).

Well, that particular group (closed now) was rather quiet, and in most cases my personal best advice was to "send your question to the appropriate English group" (well, written in German, of course).

So, maybe these attempts were not successful.

However, are there plans to allow/support non-English questions in the new SQLA v2 website, possibly by using language-specific tags?

IMHO, it could possibly make more sense than a separate group because here, other users might be able to translate questions/answers between non-English posters and the SA engineers. (OK, this statement assumes that you brilliant engineers are better with different programming languages than with spoken languages. Feel free to correct me!) Furthermore, by nature the doc team does handle some more languages very well.

(A poll for this topic might be quite useless as each user here comes along with SA's native language...)

Ich finde diese Idee gut.

(Just to give an impression, poorly translated as "I like this idea.")


Quod erat demonstrandum.

(No, I don't expect a 'latin' tag.)

@Graeme: So you show my assumption (in the question) is wrong - I should've known better w.r.t. the Kitchener-Waterloo area:)

Nein, ich habe Deutsch in der Hochschule studiert. Auf Englisch: Coincidence, actually. I took a few years of German in high school, before I had ever been to Kitchener-Waterloo. The German above was entirely from memory - I hope I didn't mangle it too badly. It's been a few years.

@Graeme: No need to worry, your memory is fine - congratulation:) @Breck: Now I'm about to suggest that "history" tag...
