Posting in non-english is not good for the following reasons:
Let's assume that someone posting here in a non-English
language doesn't have the knowledge to post an understandable
article written in English. Their alternative is to not
post.
- You will miss usefull comments of people that dont speak your language.
True, but you still might get comments of people understanding
your language, which is better than not getting any comments,
which happens if you don't post at all.
-
You will divide the power of the perlmonks community into 'islands' of knowledge
Yeah, and? It's not going to reduce the size of the "main",
English-speaking island. But it might cause additional
islands to form, increasing the total land-mass. And if their
are people who understand both English and some non-English
language, they can act as bridgebuilders, linking the various
islands.
I don't get what you are saying with your first two points
(maybe that's because I'm not a native English speaker).

Posts may use any of the Perl Monks Approved HTML tags. Currently these include the following:
<code> <a> <b> <big>
<blockquote> <br /> <dd>
<dl> <dt> <em> <font>
<h1> <h2> <h3> <h4>
<h5> <h6> <hr /> <i>
<li> <nbsp> <ol> <p>
<small> <strike> <strong>
<sub> <sup> <table>
<td> <th> <tr> <tt>
<u> <ul>
-
Snippets of code should be wrapped in
<code> tags not
<pre> tags. In fact, <pre>
tags should generally be avoided. If they must
be used, extreme care should be
taken to ensure that their contents do not
have long lines (<70 chars), in order to prevent
horizontal scrolling (and possible janitor
intervention).
