Hey, in the CS world English is a pretty universal language, but I'm just taking the temperature here in regards to content in other languages on HN. On the posting side is there any interest in seeing content written in (for example) Spanish? Is expanding into those other non-English speaking communities interesting to anyone? Has anyone seen cool content in another language, but hesitated to post it on HN? I'm just interested in figuring out what people think...

Non-English submissions are not going to get widely upvoted unless we get a link to an English translation.<p>Currently, that means you should post a link to an English translation of the great Spanish CS article you found. A babelfish translation should be good enough.<p>Ideally, HN would recognise when you were submitting a link to a non-English article, and automatically provide a link to an automatic translation as well / instead. (And should perhaps do this for links in comments as well.)<p>(Chrome has this sort of automatic translation built-in, but I'd guess that less than half of the HN userbase uses Chrome.)
