Discussion on: when I post something, do I have to use English or my native language ?

yeah, well, I just began publishing here, and I started posting in Portuguese (I'm Brazilian) because I wanted this content to be available for Portuguese speakers that either don't know or don't want to read in English.

Not that I think it's good for a developer not to know how to read in English, I just don't want to prevent someone from reading just because they don't know the language.

I don't think this affects too much English speakers cuz it's so much easier to find anything written in English. But considering this post and some commentary here, I'm considering posting a copy of my posts in English too.

thank you Vinícius Hoyer
maybe I also want to follow your method, posting in Indonesian and English, but maybe in a slightly different way.
maybe by posting some things in English, some remain in Indonesian. what's more basic remains in Indonesia or I need to get more feedback from the dev community
for example, considering I'm still a beginner, I want to make a post to find out whether my solution is correct or not in the eyes of a senior developer as a correction.
