I do speak and write English. By the purpose of my question in another language is to open the opportunity and access to Musing to other communities not just English speaking ones. Maybe if more people speaking other languages start using the system then the developers will start making Musing multi-lingual.
Nice suggestion but the problem is that if that kind of method was adopted, it won't favor some people. It will also increase spam on the platform. Also musing team such as @jonchin also agreed on accepting English Language alone as the only language that should be used on the platform. I think adopting multilingual system may cause musing to be disorganized.
I don't know your view on my point.. Or what do you think regarding my points?
Steemit.com is not multilingual, that does not prevent it from accepting other languages in posts and comments.
Please allow me to give my personal thoughts on your opinions:
- “if that kind of method was adopted, it won’t favour some people”. I would say that if it was NOT adopted it won’t favour some people too. In both cases, some people won’t be in favour so why not just do it then?
- “It will also increase spam on the platform”. Spam does not need to be in foreign languages. There are heaps of spams en English too. Restricting access from foreign languages is not a way to fight spam. I actually believe that Musing is one way to reduce shit posts, first because it does not necessarily create new posts on the user profile and also it gives ideas for topics of writing for all Steemians who are running out of ideas. They might even find a topic they are good at.
- is there an official post on Steem stating that English only will be accepted at the moment?
Internet is international, more and more people even in developed countries have access to Internet. They don’t all speak English but does it mean they don’t have good questions or that they don’t have interesting and useful answers?
U are actually right regarding your statements and I have actually learnt from your words.
I would say that if it was NOT adopted it won’t favour some people too. In both cases, some people won’t be in favour so why not just do it then?
Actually, the number of people who communicate with English Language is more than those who don't speak or type in English because English is one of the mostly used official Language.
There are people who can't speak English fluently but you see them typing their posts on musing with their lot knowledge of English Language. Some even make use of Google Translator to convert their natural Language into English Language.
The fact is that we have more of English Language communicators on musing than other Languages. It won't be of good help if other people start using their Language to share their ideas on the platform.
What do you think will happen if Indians, Philippines, Hausa, Igbo, Arabic and other language speakers start using their languages to share ideas, don't you think it may lead to a form of cheat for other language users?
Don't you think most people won't be able to answer questions unlike before because they can't understand what they language.
Spam does not need to be in foreign languages.
Accepted but there is likely to be more increase in spam if multilingual system is adopted.

I guess this is where you are getting it wrong. Steemit is a decentralized social media /blogging platform built on steem blockchain. When you are making use of Steemit, you are free to use any Language because you are the master of your blog but in the case of of musing, it is entirely a different case because musing is only a question and answer platform just like Quora built on steem blockchain. This implies that typing with any language on your Steemit blog doesn't mean you can start typing same thing on musing because that's one of the don't of musing.
I do speak and write English. By the purpose of my question in another language is to open the opportunity and access to Musing to other communities not just English speaking ones. Maybe if more people speaking other languages start using the system then the developers will start making Musing multi-lingual.
I would address the idea to musing-io. I guess they are on discord or simply tag them in a thread. Maybe you will get an answer and even a multi-lingual musing.
As you can see, the Vietnamese question has attracted a little number of answers. Receiving upvotes from @musing is not important in my opinion. Of course it is a great bonus for many people but what I mean is I see Musing more as an opportunity for creating quality content in the form of interesting and useful answers that other people can refer to in the future.
Quora has been very successful without the monetary point behind it, people are not getting paid for asking or answering questions but they are still using it it.
I want to see Musing like that. It's giving ideas to Steemians who don't know what to write about. The topic is right in the question, they are kind of guided.
You're right. Maybe you can get even a tag with your native language from @musing to tag your threads. You can ask. Who knows what's coming in the next update. Steemit has tags for Spanish and Cn from what I know so why not musing have for certain languages that are used often.
Until then, I have updated my question to be both in Vietnamese and English and will continue to do so for future questions in Vietnamese so that every one can participate until @musing decides to officially open up to other languages with a better way to group them together.

SMT mà ra thì chắc là sẽ có rất nhiều lợi cho Steem.
Anh cũng xem Steem như là một cơ hội cho lâu dài, ai biết được, sau này nghỉ hưu thì có thể nó sẽ nuối xống nhà anh :-D
