Should we create a forum for foreign language so people can post in their native languages?
Right now our rules are "English Only". but if we have moderators who are willing to work in Chinese, then maybe we should revisit this rule?
That depends on your wish and whether we have potentially a Chinese-speaking community of an adequate size to support a separate area of the forums serving non-English speaking users. For now, the community must be small here because this forum has been English-only from the very beginning. So, even if you decide to open up forums in other languages, it is discreet not to expect a surge in activity within a foreseeable period of time.
If you think this is okay, I shall be willing to help enforce the forum rules there, as you have previously sought our opinions on this matter.

lingua::preferred
Preferred(3pm) User Contributed Perl Documentation Preferred(3pm)
NAME
Lingua::Preferred - Perl extension to choose a language
SYNOPSIS
use Lingua::Preferred qw(which_lang acceptable_lang);
my @wanted = qw(en de fr it de_CH);
my @available = qw(fr it de);
my $which = which_lang(@wanted, @available);
print "language $which is the best of those available
";
foreach (qw(en_US fr nl de_DE)) {
print "language $_ is acceptable
"
if acceptable_lang(@wanted, $_);
}
DESCRIPTION
Often human-readable information is available in more than one language. Which should you use? This module provides a way for the user to
specify possible languages in order of preference, and then to pick the best language of those available. Different 'dialects' given by
the 'territory' part of the language specifier (such as en, en_GB, and en_US) are also supported.
The routine "which_lang()" picks the best language from a list of alternatives. The arguments are:
o a reference to a list of preferred languages (first is best). Here, a language is a string like 'en' or 'fr_CA'. ('fr_*' can also be
given - see below.) 'C' (named for the Unix 'C' locale) matches any language.
o a reference to non-empty list of available languages. Here, a language can be like 'en', 'en_CA', or "undef" meaning 'unknown'.
The return code is which language to use. This will always be an element of the available languages list.
The cleverness of this module (if you can call it that) comes from inferring implicit language preferences based on the explicit list
passed in. For example, if you say that en is acceptable, then en_IE and en_DK will presumably be acceptable too (but not as good as just
plain en). If you give your language as en_US, then en is almost as good, with the other dialects of en following soon afterwards.
If there is a tie between two choices, as when two dialects of the same language are available and neither is explicitly preferred, or when
none of the available languages appears in the user's list, then the choice appearing earlier in the available list is preferred.
Sometimes, the automatic inferring of related dialects is not what you want, because a language dialect may be very different to the 'main'
language, for example Swiss German or some forms of English. For this case, the special form 'XX_*' is available. If you dislike Mexican
Spanish (as a completely arbitrary example), then "[ 'es', 'es_*', 'es_MX' ]" would rank this dialect below any other dialect of es (but
still acceptable). You don't have to explicitly list every other dialect of Spanish before es_MX.
So for example, supposing @avail contains the languages available:
o You know English and prefer US English:
$which = which_lang([ 'en_US' ], @avail);
o You know English and German, German/Germany is preferred:
$which = which_lang([ 'en', 'de_DE' ], @avail);
o You know English and German, but preferably not Swiss German:
$which = which_lang([ 'en', 'de', 'de_*', 'de_CH' ], @avail);
Here any dialect of German (eg de_DE, de_AT) is preferable to de_CH.
Whereas "which_lang()" picks the best language from a list of alternatives, "acceptable_lang()" answers whether a single language is
included (explicitly or implicitly) in the list of wanted languages. It adds the implicit dialects in the same way.
