I have noticed a couple things that make me go hmmm..
1. there are more Indian users in MyLot than Americans.
2. there are a lot of people who's English is so bad I can't understand what they are trying to say/ask
3. a lot of discussions are about things that don't have to do with the western world or of English speaking people.
With that said, should there be a multi-lingual MyLot so people can post in their native language and maybe have a translator program or something so people can read posts.
I have friends all over the world and most do not speak/write in English so they can't use this great service.

Just my observation, you're just seeing the downside of myLot being multi-lingual. Please try to look a little deeper and try to find good things instead. Without a lot of the people from India and from the Philippines like me, myLot wouldn't be as big as it is now. A lot of us have invited a lot of Americans and other English speakers as well to the site. If something doesn't make much sense to you, there are so many posts here that do make sense.

it will be a lil difficult n according to me its not possible i mean even if there is something like multi lingual mylot there will be another big problem we have to type everything in english even if it is our native language so anyhow one has to learn english n i dont think indian are that illiterate some of them are a lil poor in english i agree but they will learn better usage staying here
one last thing for you-kyaa haal hae bhai (in english it means how are you brother)

I think that's a pretty good idea. I have a lot of friends who are more fluent in their own language. I think they would enjoy using MYLOT if it offer multi lnaguages.
