Ciao tutti,
Very interesting posts. Moderate & understandable.
Shows more interest in the language issue than I thought would be the case.
ONE point I'd like to make is that *IF your first language is not English
then it can be a burden to cope with it*. Not everyone gets on well with a
English is the lingua franca, so I think it would be best to keep the main

https://forum.tiddlywiki.fr/ so maybe there could be one for German
speakers?

Guten Tag allerseits :–)
I fee EXACTLY like Jan.
I see great potential in promoting TW in more languages – there are many
translations available. If this would be successful we could decide later if
arising needs are best discussed in new groups or on stackexchange.
Herzliche Grüsse
Thomas

Hallo Josiah,
eine kurze deutsche Antwort (very short because I will continue in

In practice I think getting German speakers to author from their first
language could be a revelation. That doesn't mean we can't approximate it
in English later. Its more about letting Germans THINK & ARTICULATE in
German about TiddlyWiki. German is a very unusual language. Its immensely
I do not speak a word of German (except for the really bad german from the
old 1970's Hogan's Heros, but that doesn't count).
I would not be at all offended if people who prefer to communicate in
