I've noticed -some- people (Like 1% of the sites population) Using different languages other then English on this site.

So is this a good or bad thing? Some people use immersion as a way to learn a language and a good way to do that is by using it to communicate on sites you frequent (I almost did this a while back when I debated posting comments in Korean, the language I am learning. Then putting the English version underneath of the comment between "spoiler" tags (/spoiler)

Is it against the rules to use a different language because most people won't understand you?

Furthermore if it is allowed, do you guys have specific admins to communicate with people of different languages? (Google translate admin OP)

And lastly. Are people allowed to post on the forums in different languages? I have some friends from places like Korea and China who would like to post on these forums but don't want to post in their languages in fear of getting kicked out. (So to speak)

So what are the rules on different languages on different parts of the site?

We're US based so English is obviously preferred.
For tags, with the exception of names, it's English only.

For anything else we don't really encourage communication in public in a language we can't read.
And if google translate changes your cookie recipe into one to create plastic explosives we're likely going to ban you for it.
Besides that there's nothing in the rules that outright bans it, but I'd be considerate of the others so I greatly encourage sticking to english, and if you want to make a translation stick the non-english at the end or into a spoiler.

Also, as far as admins go I'm the only one that is active and fluent in another language (I'm a native German living in Germany so it's pretty obvious that I am able to speak German), but besides me we have Dasa who can speak Mexican.
I could probably check with F-list though, they have a lot more people, from more parts of the world and I could likely ask them if there ever is a need.

To add to what NMNY said, translations to non-English languages in notes and the wiki are generally discouraged as well. We just don't have enough infrastructure in place to support multiple languages in these areas and it can easily become cluttered (we also don't have a good way to verify the information as correct, in the case of the wiki).

I can read some French but that's about it. :X

And I can do Swedish, though not really believing that's gonna come in handy...

Anyway... What I wanted to say is that I would really like to encourage the use of sections when writing more than a sentence and not spoilers. That way, those who don't like people speaking foreign, of which I have seen plenty around the Internet, don't have to get annoyed over it and those who need/like it still has it close by. A spoiler with stuff people can't understand at all is probably not going to make them happier.

Well, there's other furry imageboard website used for non-native english users.

Here's a list of non-english furry imageboard:

Chinese: Komica

Alternative Link:http://komica2.dreamhosters.com/

German:http://onechan.net/f/wakaba.html

European users (with non-european users also allowed):U-18 Chan

Woah, this thread derailed quickly... I guess this adds one point to why we should encourage English.

Onechan: Site seems pretty much dead and buried.

U-18Chan: As far as I know that is an almost exclusively english speaking board with the occasional outburst of other languages, and don't be surprised if you find real sex with actual hoomans there (I know, how weird is that?).

On the top of my head there's also (Russian hosted?) http://pawsru.org/ but it's still an english-speaking board.

English is the language of business

Veebooru and Wildcritters would probably be better for you. Both websites have a big focus on Japanese style furry artwork. I noticed that you got flagged for violating e621's "Do Not Post" list ~ as far as I know, Veebooru and Wildcritters do not have a "Do Not Post" list.

Also, e621 has more focus on western furry art, so you will not be running into as many likeminded people ~here~ as you would on WC or Veebooru. Also, I believe there are more users on WC and Veebooru who speak languages other than english.

I speak English, Arabic and Persian.
