The English speaking people have the same chance to read German language texts
as vice versa. Thus when knowing the intended reader group would be able to
understand German language text, so why translate it then into a different one?

German is the most spreaded genuine language in Western Europe. Thus using it
is dicriminating nobody. English speaking and writing members should be aware,
that e.g. Germans are facing comparable problems in fora with English language.

If there would be a lot of interested people not being able to understand
German, there are some possibilities to solve that problem: write about that (to
make others know the group of readers has changed), learning and using the
German language, or finally using online translators.

Reinhard.
