Unpopular opinion: Multilingual posts on HIVE are very hard to follow. Why not just use English? Is it because of local curation projects? I'd prefer two separate posts instead, but then 'reward milking' accusations might start, I guess.

The ultimate solution would be the ability to offer two content tabs, so the end user could select from a drop-down, the language they prefer to read. I guess it is too late to add such a thing to Hive now.
yeah, all frontends needs to have a consensus first.
In my case I am Spanish speaking and that is why Most of my post are in Spanish. Without a doubt, sometimes I put English for greater reach.
Only one language is also okay, it does not need to be English, but as a reader it's hard to follow. (especially frustrating if you know both languages)
True, but now I ask you
How would one deal with healing projects that are English-speaking?
Two separate posts are frown upon by Hivewatchers.
I actually think the real pain are machine translations though - they are penalized by search engines, and likely result in Hive posts ranking low in organic search.

It would be great, if I could express myself in English the same as in German, because I could reach more people. There are already auto translators in social media. Could be that in future, you only see your own language and everything is auto translated in your mother tongue
Everyone's first language is not English. As a native English speaker, I try to remind myself: Hive is an international environment, and the second and third most important languages are Spanish and German. They have as much right to their mother tongue as I have to mine.
That's alright. Then just write in your first language :) It's just two languages at the same post is painful.
The translation sometimes is inaccurate for two or more languages,but yeah, doing multiple blogs on a single topic on different languages can really be considered a reward sucking thing.. really true
I don't think it's hard to follow as long as the text isn't "jumbled up" (like I do with mine).
I think it's best to just use one language. It hurts the SEO and page ranking but again posting two different languages with the same post has always been frowned upon. I suppose one of the way is to burn the reward on the either language?
And thats the Problem :(. I would like to life in a world where the frontend is translating posts by default.
