I question that is not answered by the FAQ: What languages are
acceptable for postings?
There is no doubt that postings in general should be written in
English as a common denominator. Sometimes however the skills in a
foreign language are too limited to describe the problem. This is
meant in the sense of: “I would like to write in English but I don’t
know how to express this in that language.”
Please fill in:

I think that my
[ ] Chinese
[x] Dutch
[ ] Esperanto
[x] French
[x] German
[ ] Italian
[ ] Japanese
[ ] Korean
[ ] Latin
[ ] Spanish
[ ] …
is good enough to translate such a posting into English if it is
necessary.
The above marks show what I am (hopefully) able to do.

Hm… why Latin? Never seen a Latin posting here… but it would be
interesting. Perhaps I’ll write the first one (then of course together
with an English translation).
I question that is not answered by the FAQ: What languages are
acceptable for postings?
I’m not sure this is a meaningful question.
Instead, I think each poster needs to consider how best to communicate
with the audience here. If you have a question and you post it in
Portuguese, then you cut down your potential set of answerers. However,
you’re still likely to find a number of people who can understand and
answer you post.
I also believe that many people can understand enough to a make sense of
a response in a language that they couldn’t use to write a post. For
example, I can probably extract the sense from a posting in French,
German, or Dutch (by coincidence your original list:), but there’s no
way I could post anything meaningful in any of them. This is helped by
the fact that we can all read a common language, Ruby. This means that
when a post comes by that looks like:
Qwetuela de uyeyei?
a = "abc\ndef"
a =~ /a.*f/ => nil??????
most folks on the list can work out the question, and answer back
(probably in English).
In fact I subscribe to the Japanese lists on this basis: none of the
words make sense, but the code examples help me keep abreast of changes
to the language.
Well, but I think most of the Japanese people can write in english,
which may be a very big help to other people.
I can find a lot of modules, but all of them are documented in japanese,
so I cannot use them, unless I read the code

I do not want to railroad Postings in any of the languages I did
list but I see the problem that people who are no native speakers of
English sometimes face the problem of not being able to describe
their problem in English while they are able to describe it in their
own language.
What I wish to know what languages people on the list could make
sense of. An answer could look like this:

At the moment the value has been estimate to be 42.8(9) and is known
to be an integer. It looks as if the correct value is 43 but further
research is necessary - it may still be 42.

Many times I have found my self debugging my scripts line per line
on irb.
Due ‘irb myscript’, is to fast to find out what’s going on
I used to do a ’ irb myscript|more’
There is an smarter way to achieve it ?
With a little pause between each line/object would be great !!
