Comment 50 for bug 392799

For cultural 'cross-polination' there's #ubuntu-offtopic, which I do visit
every now and again.

By dividing up the main channel into 3, it might be possible if we need to,
to refer users to channels more suited to their language.
For example, if someone is in the americas, it's probable that they speak
either english or spanish. If they're in asia, they're probably indian,
chinese, japanese, korean, or so on.

I think Jono's idea would be progress, but just as seeing chinese or korean
text in a channel is useless to me, seeing english text in a channel might
be nearly useless to someone in China. Operating systems and software are a
topic such that you probably need to get help in your own first language. I
tend to think that what ever we implement needs to do that with as little
end user confusion and time as possible.
