But you must take into account that English is the most commonly spoken language.
thats wrong tho
Chinese has almost 200 million more speakers https://www.rocketlanguages.com/blog/the-15-most-spoken-languages-in-the-world/
I think we are taking that into account. It doesn't help those who don't speak it.
But that aside, many users are just not comfortable using a platform unless it's in their own language even if they speak the other perfectly.
When an app can't detect or at least be adapted to the common language used in your own geographic area, lot's of people get a feeling that the site is not made for them, or is less professional and less trustworthy.
Yeah, but there is still a huge crowd who don't have enough writing skills to take part in Steem community in its current form.
They will come to join if they have an easy way to communicate with their preferred language.
I think this is a very low-hanging fruit, there isn't any technological innovations that are needed, just add some menus for users.
