- You pick accepted languages in your tribe settings (plural again).
- When you post to a group of tribes that are not of a same single language, you must pick the language of the text / snap (no default) and you can't post to incompatible tribes (let say French only and German only).
- The frontpage shows only snaps in languages you know.
Eventually, localized interface but it's a very minor concern.
While being a great solution of which the groundwork is already partially laid out we must consider the resources that a language support system such as this will require, resources we don't yet have access to. At this point the funding needed to spin up more servers and develop a system that manages languages on a platform that is yet to fully develop it's footing is a really difficult task to tackle not to mention the dozens of other things we should be focusing on. What we have now is momentum, and with this momentum we will take steps to expanding our functionality in the order we believe will help us grow. While we hope to have full language support soon, we need to consider other more important functions like giving our members proper content management tools, proper organizational tools, better moderation tools, a monetization system that will fund our hosting bills and let us to focus full time on this platform instead of switching between other jobs that pay the bills. Having said that, we have a great plan to introduce a lot of great functionality over the coming months, and once we complete our scheduled releases we will focus on making sure we have proper language support across the platform.
I get that and I understand it will take some time.
But as /u/Bastou said, inviting people to downvote is not acceptable. Just let people keep off their submissions from the frontpage and you bought yourself some breathing space.
This is great down the road. I was referring to the way the system works now while we wait for these (awesome) features. Simply saying "downvote content that is not in English" is unacceptable to me.
The ideal solution to me would be:
- You pick languages in your profiles (plural).
- You pick accepted languages in your tribe settings (plural again).
- When you post to a group of tribes that are not of a same single language, you must pick the language of the text / snap (no default) and you can't post to incompatible tribes (let say French only and German only).
- The frontpage shows only snaps in languages you know.

I say let tribes opt out of the front page.
It could be an acceptable temporary fix.
