We all speak many languages and variations including technical ones, pseudo codes, jargon not to mention the common international languages. I have no doubt that language specific groups should be encouraged so new ideas are free flowing in different tongues. The most powerful networks consist of interconnected clusters with sufficient communications between each cluster. It is perhaps clear that English may be the glue given TW's history, or tiddlywikis "lingua franca" however it is also clear this is only the beginning.
I would encourage the interchange of key terms found in different languages when that term can be defined (at length if necessary) and if it serves to capture a useful conceptual idea. There is no doubt that German for one example has some wonderful compound words or hard to translate words that are very useful. Once you share the definition (via translation) we can use that word ourselves and need not translate, we simply use the word. In such a loose network however we may need to have a shared glossary. I for one would love to talk systems and ecological language (in English) speaking with some tiddlywiki enthusiasts. Love the conversations, team.
