It's interesting that when I started HF you had to build into the site language options. But now browsers have automatic translate built in.

This is what HF looks like in Russian...
🔐 loading encrypted image…

Curious if any members are using HF translated?

And did you know at one point maybe 12+ years ago I actually had a bunch of language sections for HF? It was hard to moderate back then so eventually closed it down.

To answer your question, I only use English here, but it’s not my main language since I know many languages.

I don't use it for HF, but I use it for converting other sites to English.

Time to bring back Spanish and French sections?

I wouldn't partake in Russian or Chinese, but not saying others wouldn't.

You might not have the js file or potentially something blocked.

Try to refresh cache F5.

It takes an extra second to load the image because it's encrypted.

Often for CC domain registration like .co.uk for example you have to be a citizen or registered business of that country.

I'm aware. I've been asked to set up a .fr site.
I only translate convo sometimes, Most users are pretty good at keeping it English only.

would be interesting to add a feature to detect language and adjust the logo accordingly
