Difficult situation.

Apache projects definitely use English as the default language, but
with an existing userbase that is used to create issue in Chinese,
this would be negative to enforce.

I saw some people using Google Translate to translate the question,
then repost the question in English before answering. That makes it
clear(er), that English is the preferred language and also allows
people like me to participate.

Then you can answer in English and optionally also include an
automated translation again.
If you know both languages, then you can quickly check of the
translations make sense.

I on the other hand, would probably just answer in English and leave
the translation up to the user as I have no grasp at all of Chinese.

It might help to make more people create English issues by mentioning
that English issues are preferred in
https://github.com/apache/incubator-weex/blob/master/.github/ISSUE_TEMPLATE/bug-report.md

What do you think how many of the users actually have no understanding
of English?
