I think it would be great to reach non-English speakers. Six current stackers who speak Hindi is probably enough to start experimenting with it. Most posts don't have that many commenters as it is.
For those who can read English, but are only comfortable writing in a different language, this could work really well. Those of us who speak English can use a translator to get a sense of what you're saying and we can still reply in English.
You can also leave comments in Hindi on English posts and start a non-English discussion of the topic.

Yupp! Most of social media is English primary. I agree. SN would also be same. The matter of acceptance for non-English folks is a little different here. Just suppose if you see a comment written in Hinglish like - or kya hal chal you would probably not find out the proper translation tool. Ultimately start ignoring such comments in Hinglish!

I'm sure SN will remain English primary.
If having a few Hindi (or other non-English) posts and comments brings people here, that's great.

I agree. If someone who can only understand but can't write in English should answer in his native language. This is the most profound solution that we can have. Thanks! What I personally think is that most of the educated people can understand English, it's just they don't wanna read it twice! @BitcoinAbhi is just stretching it and he should bring in people and tell them to write valuable content in whatever language they want.
