because English seems to be the language most of us can understand. If tags get developed in a different language, people will not be able to participate in the discussion and if the details of tags are not available in English, many people will not be aware of these details and will not be able to use a tag according to its definition. This can be nonetheless an option if a tag is only relevant in a certain geographical region, but for globally significant tags it is clearly not desirable. Cheers, Martin
