There’s been some conversation about this in this thread too. Taking from there, I think the optimal structure would involve two things:
- Forums/channels/resources for additional languages
- a role (“Ambassadors”) who can connect the communities. This allows ideas, opinions, and sentiments to flow between the communities. Maybe this would be a bountied job? I’m not sure, it does sound like a fair amount of work.
The reasoning behind the second is simple: if we have say, Chinese channels, but the English-speaking channels are completely siloed off, then the Chinese channels lose out on announcements and news in the English (the team is all English-speaking afaik), and the English channels lose out on being able to accommodate the needs and sentiments of the Chinese-speaking channels. (And more, these are just examples.)
