I know it's done elsewhere, and to be honest I see it as superfluous in those cases too. Announcing the language just seems pointless. I like my titles to be impactful, short and to lead the reader in a particular direction. I think many people don't do their titles as well as they should.
I consider myself one of those people, I feel like I need who to improve my titles a bit more.
But I have a question, if everything is in English, using [EN] doesn’t make sense, but what if it’s bilingual? How do you let the Spanish reader know that the Spanish version is below? Or if the title is in Spanish, how do I let you know that the text is also in English?
Good question and the answer is something you'll have to decide. I generally don't open up bilingual posts as they are annoying to read when people do a paragraph in English then in another language, and intersperse that through the post. I just don't open them, or vote on them.
Some, like @nanixxx does a block of text in one language then the same in the other, which is a better format.
You'll need to decide for yourself I guess. I'll never post in anything other than English, even if all my "readers" were Spanish speakers. The reason is translators do a bad job and make the translated language look stupid...(not read well) which is not how I want to present myself.
So I don't know the answer I guess, you'll have to decide.. just do what feels right for you.
Just like you, it annoys me when the creator chooses to put a paragraph in one language and then the other one translated.
I also don’t like the block visually, I think that as a reader I lose the essence of the writing.
I personally like: one language first and the other one later.
As for the language, well, I’m from Cuba, our community is in Spanish and putting the article in English is my way to introduce our country, history and culture to people from other latitudes. (I think that Hive Fronted should work hard to improve the translation process as Chrome, Edge and others do)
Meanwhile I use the translator on a few occasions (especially when I have to translate a cubanismo ) but the biggest translation work is do it by me (that’s why sometimes I can make some mistake 😅) but that allows me to improve my English and at the same time, meet people who contribute to the improvement of my content.
I also think that within Hive the Spanish-speaking community still has to grow and mature
Peakd has a translator. I've not used it because reading translated text can be an onerous and unenjoyable task, but it's there nonetheless. In Spanish translations it changes he to she and she to he and at that stage I'm like, see ya, I'm out of here.
Yes indeed! But I'm an Ececyboy 😅 , so
Ecency what are you waiting for? 🤔
In HiveCuba , someone run a test about the Peakd translator and the conclusions were that the translator has a long way to go , but I think that is a ok , for those who need a quick translation
I will be testing the translator soon and I will share you the results 😅🤓
Let's see how it goes with the translator.
Well, I often make a lot of mistakes with my English. My English sucks. But what am I going to do? We use the translator as a reference for English speakers to read us too.
But well... I guess there are also people who just ignore us :(
I guess the best way to go is for everyone to do their own thing and move on.
