Yahoo:
By discouraging people from using their native languages, ESPECIALLY in their own nation's version of Yahoo!Answers, you are becoming cultural imperialists. Language is an extremely strong part of people's cultures. By only supporting English, you are actively working to force others to conform to Western (specifically American) ways of expressing themselves. There is no harm in people speaking their own languages on their nation's version of Yahoo!Answers. Those who type questions in Tagalog are aware that only people who understand Tagalog can answer. You say they are "missing out" because the English-speakers cannot help them, but maybe everyone else is missing out because you don't allow that person to answer/ask questions in Tagalog (or whatever language)! Why do you assume that English-speakers have better answers than non-English speakers?
Do you agree?
