Hi Christofer, When you say "user asks a question in German", do you mean user ask in the search bar? Or something else?
Per your statement, here's my understanding. *Let's assume the majority language is English, and this user uses German. * 1. user search a question in German in search bar 2. service translate to English and search 3. return in the original language and render in German in search result 4. when in specific question page, it can show in either German or origin(English) Is that what you mean?
