After proposing a âDeutschâ Category, and getting a bit of a resistance, I have an idea, that I want to share:
I imagine the site to feature a customizable landing page, where I see posts, that match criteria, that I have set in my preferences. The criteria are:
- Languages I can read
- Locations that I am interested in
These two criteria will act as an AND filter on ALL posts to the site, no matter which category. The landing page will be a news feed, so to say, with stuff I am interested in and in a language I can understand.
This way, there is no need for machine translation, but there is still need for language detection, as this should be automatic, as most users will not tag this.
Probably, additional filters, for categories or tags, that will be ORed with language and location might make sense?
This feed will not have three moderators? I have a hard time imagining how any number of moderators will handle site/world/wide categories with posts in tens of languages anywayâŠ
