I note that you weren't even the first to attempt it - only the first successful one. Back in summer, I tried to post stuff both in German and English, but stopped after getting replies only in English.

Also, before I saw your thread which made it obsolete, I planned a "census analysis" post. In there, I would have concluded that I think trying French in a few diaries would be worthwile, but for a truly big experiment, ET would still have to grow much more.

Why not do the census analysis anyway? On the contrary, it would be interesting and useful, imo.

OK, may do so - but I didn't plan much more than a tally for each language and category in a table, and stuff now dealt with in this thread, plus the suggestion to try diaries in French.

I actually have come full circle on the issue of alternative language diaries, I just needed some context...like it is okay for me to butt into a thread that is totally in another language and ask what's going on...which I feel is fine to do now. Anyway, as I have thought about it, I now recall many times that people have posted snippets of articles from another language, then followed with a translation, and always appreciated the effort there.

So...long contentious threads to sometimes cause a person to reflect and make changes.
