I don't really think double-language posts are anything good. This is an INTERNATIONAL forum and our "Esperanto" is English, we don't need posts in more than one language.
Right now, about 200 different users have posted at least once time and I think that about 90% of them don't have English as their mother tongue and that we can find more than 15 different languages.
Why are you allowing posting in Suomi??
Easily, in this forum we can find, at least, these languages:
· English
· Spanish
· French
· Italian
· German
· Suomi
· Dutch
· Polish
· Japanese
· Indonesian
· Catalan (regional language of Spain)
· Portuguese / Brazilian / Galician (they're VERY similar)
And we can find if we search well enough:
· Svenska
· Danish
· Czech
And maybe about 5/6 more...
What do you think??
PS: I'm Spanish. I know 3 different languages (Spanish, Catalan and English) and I understand pretty well 2 more (Italian and Galician).

Re: The tower of Babel
There is many forums for each of the language listed above I think
Re: The tower of Babel
I don't see what's the problem in using two languages - everyone else should understand English but some things are just easier to say in your own language. And it's not that we allow posts in just Finnish, for example, you always need to post in English as well.
For example, I usually only use Finnish when I'm telling about specific rules to our new members, what's the harm in that?

Re: The tower of Babel
It's not a big deal for us. Think that GR is accessable worldwide, and our community is a sort of "elite" club, as it's not national anymore. Mostly young boys do play this game who join our forum, at the age of about 10-15 years, and from them we can't demand perfect English skills. Yes, this may be sometimes disturbing, but hey, at least there's some activity.
