User blog comment:Starios/Referendum - Language on the Public Chat -/@comment-25802715-20160320005555

So some of you think Google Translate is a good solution huh?

So you assume all users here are PC users? So let's say there is on average one message typed every 2 seconds (there are cases like this). It takes me about 15 to 30 seconds to translate something typed in chat on mobile. By the time I finish, assuming all the languages are not English, there are about 8 to 15 more messages to translate. Keep adding it up and it may take a while to find an insulting message.

On PC, it takes me about 4 seconds to translate. Keep repeating this recursion and eventually, there is too much to translate just to figure out if one message is insulting.

Throughout this calculation, I see how easily can this be abused by those who speak foreign language. This is also assuming you don't mess up copying and pasting.

More importantly, you already proven you have some knowledge in English, so I do not see why you really need to speak an another language. If you know someone here who speaks your language, you can PM them or join the other TFOE chat where language doesn't matter. But the fact that there is a rule that exists, it is your responsibility to follow them. If you do not, expect punishments.

And certainly people already told you the difference between official and unofficial.

So, I vote to keep the current rule about the use of languages in chat.
