About a statement Hoodlum said some time ago.

[Gemini893]

There is also the potential problem that supporting other languages might encourage someone to make a page in another language. This would leave the majority of the population ignorant about some new faction if the translation engine is unable to fully render an English version of said page. Anyone who has used translation tools on a semi-regular basis knows exactly what I'm talking about too. Certain local dialects and idioms are not usually programmed into the translation tool and therefor either fail in translation or are translated incorrectly.

This reinforces the standpoint that, being an officially English speaking server, all material on the wiki should also be based in the English language.


FUN FACT: Local English dialect of Wisconsin, USA: A bubbler is a drinking fountain of the type commonly found in schools and other public buildings.
