We need a linguistic bridge for potential partners who do not know English

JS Juan Santiago Public Seen by 102

Although perhaps not what you may believe, not all speak English :) at least not sufficiently fluent, so often added at the end of my reply "sorry about my English"

I have published the Spanish translation of a post asking developers and I have found that even people who can help develop any problems with this issue.

One possibility is to create a loomio group or github with translations of the development needs of diaspora, in different languages.

I think we can not miss brains and hands just because they do not understand English.

No problem if someone with knowledge of English corrects this proposal

I think this isn't just about Spanish-speakers - Juan is just using that as an example of a community of potential developers who are held back by the lack of non-English support.

We could also, if there are people who are willing to support it, have IRC channels for support in other languages. Currently there is one in German in addition to English-language support. If people who understand the code well enough and speak other languages are willing to spend time to do this, we could then open IRC channels in other languages as well.

Oh yes, so there is, and I see there is also #diaspora-es for Spanish speakers. Both of those have been added since I last read that page. That's good news - support in different languages is expanding.
