We just locally went through the "official language" debate, and came up with a few workable things: Anything that is an official governmental notice should be printed in english and whatever other language(s) predominant in the area where it is posted. Private postings are excepted from this save for instances wherein warnings are necessary for health/safety reasons. Seemed pretty logical to me.
Similarly, I would think that general postings at IW should be in english, but if you want to post a welcome or whatever in a different language, that would be fine also. I've seen lots of comments in different languages tagged on to various posts, and I certainly don't feel uncomfortable with it. I like the idea that we have a community of such variety.
Tracey - I thought your take on speaking in tongues was a hoot, lmao.
