About bilingual writers in DEV

MiguelMJ - Jan 24 '21 - - Dev Community

Hello, DEV community. I'd like to know your opinion on users that publish in two different languages, because, for several reasons irrelevant to this post, I want to start translating my own posts to my native language (Spanish), while keeping the versions in English.

At first I wanted to do it in a Spanish-speaking community, but unfortunately, I didn't found any in which I felt as comfortable as here. Also, from the comments on the following post, I discovered that there is already Spanish speakers publishing in DEV, using the #spanish tag.

However, doing this will mean that:

  • Non spanish speakers that follow me will have posts in their feed in a language they don't understand.
  • The posts on my profile will be mixed.

I know that none of this is really a big deal, but it is something I'd like to avoid as much as possible.

Therefore, I would like to kindly suggest a function to specify the language of a post, the possibility to filter posts by language and the possibility to do it in a user profile.

Until then, I would like to know what are your thoughts about this. I just skip posts in another language, but because they don't appear in my own notifications, from people I follow. Do you mind posts on your feed in other languages? Would you like to see a language filter in DEV? Or is it not worth it?
