I understand Stacker News is open source software that can be forked to fulfill my desires. But do you have any plans to add other languages?
Any other user around here thinks this could be a good idea? Thoughts?
Cheers,

Hopefully by the end of the year, users will be able to create their own subs and they can make it language specific if they want.

The way I was thinking about this is that rather than sub it could be more useful if you can create posts in different languages and then on homepage you would only see posts in your selected languages (e.g. in english + spanish).
By default you would only see english posts (so the same as currently), but if you add more languages in your config page, you would see those too (if you have more than 1 language, then the selection flags could show up in the "create new post" page).
Having sub for specific language is also possible, but that's a different usecase - in ~spanish sub I'd expect conversation about "spanish" things (rather than "bitcoin conversation in spanish language")
That said this idea isn't fully baked - it will require some more thinking :)

That would be lovely. The site is getting awesome! Just released a video in our Brazilian Portuguese channel about it

You guys won't be mad at me if I google translate replies in the Portuguese sub will you?

Have some auto translation on the backend depending on user settings so you don't have to use an extension. Sounds like it could be nice, but for cost savings purposes it makes sense why they might prefer the user just use auto translation on their side.

mas tradução automática não serve pra gente conversar! :)
além de não ser relevante eu publicar artigos em português pra todo mundo ler :(
