Cool to see that Steemians span the globe!
I'd like to see more advanced support for language metadata, at least on steemit.com. Here are some relevant links:
- post by @samupaha: Language standardization in Steem
- steemit/steem GitHub issue: Language standardization in Steem
- steemit/condenser GitHub issue: Add first class support for languages in posts
If I understand correctly, language metadata can be stored using JSON in a comment or post. However, there doesn't yet seem to be a standard of exactly how to encode that information. Furthermore, frontends haven't started setting language metadata yet. For posts, many authors use tags to specify the language.
I really like this proposal by @sneak of how frontends should automatically set the language metadata:
it should autodetect the language that is being posted (or default to the browser language) and maybe give the user the option to override.
