Google Translate is not so bad (at least for German).
Well, I could have decided to answer in English first, right?
But I have moments where I feel like (s)training my poor French also. :)
P.S.: After reading the French part and assuming I understood it well enough I agree. I don't have made observations on French science articles but in German it seems to be the same. And actually I only remember one single user writing in French. @lamouthe would be the second then. I expect to be wrong about that. Oh my.
I think the German and French communities suffer from the same thing: lack of readership/authorship. We try to do something, but with almost zero success... :(
@lamouthe (she is my wife) used to write (fully in French) in the past. She is quite busy at the moment, and may come back with posting one day. She is still reading and commenting (and curating for the French-speaking branch of SteemSTEM).
I was also writing once in a while in French. But spending 4 hours on a post for zero comment... I have given up, I must admit. I prefer to focus in English where I have a little bit more of interactions with readers ^^
I already thought so.
To some extent, leadership is actually accepted. It just must not be referred to as leadership.
