Are writers encouraged or discouraged from approving comments written in foreign (non-English) languages? We can check what they say using Google translate to make sure they're relevant, but I believe we're still supposed to deny them.
I'd assume we're not supposed to approve non-English comments since we are required to write in English. Comments become part of the content of the article so I would think the rule applies.
I am not sure of the rules on this, but if it is within the rules, and if you can respond to the comment, then make sure that you translate the question and put it in your response. That will ensure that others will also see the translated question and the answer.
Well, of course, if it is allowed. I would consider that to be cool as that shows your readers are widespread.
Good idea, I imagine it's allowed since we can (and often should) edit the grammar of questions in the Q&A section.

When I post Hebrew words as part of a comment on Hubpages, right after I submit the comment, I can still see the Hebrew word I typed, but afterwards all the letters in the word turn into question marks. Yet I saw someone else post a phrase in Russian and it did not seem to turn into question marks....

I really appreciate the comments I receive from hubbers, but I can't help wondering why there are so few comments from nonhubbers. I would think that at least a few readers who find my hubs through Google, especially, would comment. Is it just yours truly, or is this true for all hubbers?

Lately, a lot of hubs have been published on HubPages that are written in Spanish. Since we only allow English hubs on HubPages, Maddie has to find them and moderate them, which is a lot of work for her. We decided to improve the situation by trying to automatically detect when a hub is written in...
