SUGGESTION BOX - Language of Posts

I feel a little like a jerk for even bringing it up.

But what is the point of posting in Chinese or Korean or Egyptian, or Martin or Ancient Sumerian if only 1+/-% of members can read it ?

-I mean no disrespect to anyone...

In my view, it clouds the canvas with basically unintelligible scribble.

I see 3 solutions, unless you count #4 which is to do nothing.

  1. I'd like to read their posts, how about ( Steemit ) translating it to english for us.

  2. Sub.sites based on language used. I know it's not ideal.
    -Chinese.steemit.com, Korean.steemit.com, Egyption.steemit.com, ...

  3. or provide a GUI link within console of the post for us to do it ourselves as needed. Not the clean, legible canvas I was going for, but it's also an effective solution.

Note:
-of course you have categories for other languages, but when people seldom use them, nothing is improved.

There is a reason I don't buy or subscribe to any Korean News Papers, I don't read Korean. As an example, not picking on Koreans.

Believe it or not, my only interested in this post is making Steemit more effective & presentable.

PEACE

Please note: I feel the same way about these Steemit accelerator groups posting 20 reports a day listing every persons profit in their organization for that day, I just didn't sign up for that.

I wish people could be a little more thoughtful and considerate when posting, and I hope I am not looked at as a hypocrite for these words. I really am thinking of all of us, including Steemit :-)

Sort:  

I think it's a great idea! I mean, c'mon' already -- make it easier for EVERYBODY and provide a fluid entry into your language of preference.

Great idea(s) @rogerwilson!

Upvoted & Resteemed & already fillowing ya ;)

It's good SEO for the website, eventually we all want this website to surpass Facebook

Thanks for your input, I hope I didn't offend anyone with my suggestion.

Right now it might be good for SEO, but when it gets to be 50%
of the posts what new user is going to want to go thru that all day ?
