Only one month exception perhaps for us whose mother tongue is not english. That Mylot will allow us to share discussion via our local language for us to showcase how talkative we are on our local language. Some site like noise cash allowed us to share discussion even not English... What do you think?

myLot is and always has been strictly English-only. We don't make exceptions. I'm sure that there are forums in whatever language you choose and you are welcome, of course, to post in those. Here, however, the language is English: anything else is nor acceptable (except in certain very specific and limited circumstances). Those are the rules which you agreed to when you signed up. They are NOT going to change! How do you think I am going to moderate posts in a foreign language?

I am okay with English. I wonder if local languages will attract many readers. If you write in your local language, I will have to skip it. Good that you have some site where you can pour your heart in your local language.

I think it would make me very lonely because most people wouldn't be able to read my discussions
It would also be very difficult to moderate discussions in other languages. I know that some forums have categories where you are allowed to write other languages (the main language is English) I read some of the discussions in one of those categories, and they were discussing things that would have been deleted if it had been written in English, but the moderators didn't understand it. If a site allows several languages they need moderators who speak those languages.

It's a good idea but I don't think it can be done. I want to read the discussions even though I'm not responding. It would be hard to do that if the discussion were in Hindi, Tagalog or any other language than English. It's like me writing in Malay, fully. So, yeah...

Like what the others have already said, it's just not practical. Not just that but it defeats the whole purpose of getting the community members here to engage and interact with you by reading your posts.

I think if you make a discussion in tagalog, you would make less money. Because many of your mylot friends who don't know your language would ignore your discussions...

i think that it's better if we all speak same language here - if you share in your native language, only people who speak it can respond to you. doesn't seem like a good idea.

I believe Mylot will conquer a whole world and everyone in the world will speak their own language. It is a platform where people find the development of their life .........
Now it is either English, but the time will come when everyone will speak in their mother tongue.
