Anyone is welcome to SN as long as they positively contribute to the community, I am not a native English speaker and I feel more than comfortable and welcome here.
Here you can talk in English but I'm talking about onboarding those who can't understand English.

There are many online resources to convert your words to English without problems, at least in my language it is very possible, I don't know if it is more complicated from other languages, but I think the alternative would be to create territories in specific languages, I can't think of another idea.

I think you're talking about translators. I don't know about your language but in case of Hindi they don't work properly. They don't justify with the essence of a good article

Yes, in my language it works very well (Spanish) but I guess it doesn't happen with all languages, it's clear that many people from many parts of the world can take advantage of a platform as great as SN, but language is a barrier, just like I would have trouble absorbing knowledge in Hindi because of the language barrier...

Here weren't talking about those who can read or write or understand English pretty well. But about those who don't understand English, but they might be good value addition to SN. But they'll be writing Hindi.

If such a territory is created and the Hindi community begins to provide high-quality content, that territory will grow and with it that community and more users from that part of the planet would come to SN.
reply
That's what I was thinking about but with only 5 or 6 people, and all of those can understand English, it wouldn't be a good idea. First there should be a good community, we can start a territory.

Time will do the work, SN will continue to grow and more people from India will arrive, everything comes in the right time.
reply
We want that time to come very early. I've suggested @BitcoinAbhi to refer everyone without thinking too much about English as barrier. Those who are curious will definitely find a way and those who are just lazy, will add no value here. But he is just hesitated to bring everyone or anyone to SN!
reply
That is, whoever is interested will look for a way to understand the information, if the step is not taken to bring them, it may take years for the Hindi community to come to SN.
reply
The solution may be to create a specific territory in the Hindi language, I can't think of another viable idea.
