| Jul 24, 2016 at 9:16 | comment | added | Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy | @Tim Like I said, i am fine with questions being closed. Just let people who can understand those posts fix them , ping them in chat with link. The close vote privilege is being overused, and even on English posts I have to comment to explain that question is legitimate. | |
| Jul 24, 2016 at 9:10 | comment | added | Tim | @Serg but that doesn't mean leave it open. We close. Then fix. Then reopen. Translation is nothing special here. | |
| Jul 24, 2016 at 9:08 | comment | added | Tim | @Serg we could but I doubt anyone will. And we should still close questions. We can't leave them open in case someone comes along to translate... | |
| Jul 24, 2016 at 9:07 | comment | added | Sergiy Kolodyazhnyy | @Seth we all are not here for translation. And I'm not asking you , each one, to translate. Just ask someone who can. Like I would ask someone who knows about Apache, because I don't deal with those questions. | |

Wait for a human to translate it better. That's my whole point - let a human know. I have seen posts translated with google, and left there. It's the same as me editing questions just to fix up a few words, and leave question without following up with trying to figure out what users are talking about. As for I'm not sure I understand part : it's normal for people to drop down into U&L chat and ask if a user knows about this and that question. Can't we do the same and drop into say spanish chat and ask them to translate ?
