Sorry about the text/html header, everyone Original Message: # I can't see a problem with a post from a distressed user in a #language I don't understand, especially in the language this list #originates from (even if it is technically an English language list). #I guess it helps that I do read German. But I can't see flaming somebody #on a security list for posting off-language, the day may well come that #somebody posts the first warning of a nasty exploit in Chinese (at which #point I can only hope whoever answers provides enough translation for #the rest of us to get a heads-up). # Now, Francisco's reply was not only off-topic, but rude. (I can #say that because most of the Spanish I've picked up at all is off topic #and rude. I've got to note that Spanish insult is damned near poetic, #though.) I've had enough of this "talk in english or be flamed" stuff. We need to have a system of translation set up. My idea: someone sends a message to the list in a non-english language and the person who is assigned to that language translates it to english and sends out the translation. Each language which is represented in this list would have a translator and 1+ back-up translators, in case the main translator was taken away to server51 by the greys with red hats. There's also the option of creating seperate lists, but that would split the community a good bit in this arena. Build on it, fix it, etc. -Brian -- Betrayal lasts one night. The results are forever.
