Die Sprachvorgabe für Meta ist aufgehoben

Question

Robert Cartaino schrieb gerade auf Meta Latin Language Folgendes (Hervorhebung von mir):

We used to say if you want us (the Community Team) to be familiar with your community issues, meta posts would have to be in English. But on the rare, rare occasion where this was ever an issue, a post is easily Google-translated. Meta is for the community, so they should post in whichever lanage is most comfortable for them. The reason to try and enforce "you can post {spanish} everywhere... except meta", in my opinion, was too obscure to worry about in actual practice, so I never worried about it.

Auf Deutsch: Meta existiert für die Nutzer; sie mögen daher in der Sprache schreiben, die für sie am angenehmsten ist. Damit ist die bisherige Vorgabe, dass Meta auf Englisch sein soll, aufgehoben.

The language restriction for Meta is gone

This supersedes the old rule that Meta posts should be English.

Answer 1

Aus Erfahrung schlage ich folgende kleine Ausnahme vor: Bugs und Feature-Requests, die nicht von den Moderatoren umgesetzt werden können, sollten nach Möglichkeit auf Englisch verfasst werden, um die Bearbeitung zu erleichtern. Falls irgendjemand sich dazu nicht in der Lage fühlt, darf er aber gerne auf Deutsch posten – wir müssen dann halt übersetzen.

From experience I would suggest the following exception: Bugs and feature requests that cannot be realised by the moderators should be in English, if possible, to streamline realising them. However, if somebody does not feel able to adhere to this, that’s also okay – we’ll just have to translate it.

Answer 2

Da die Regel von "oben" aufgehoben wurde, sollten wir, um sinnvoll Support leisten zu können, eine eigene Sprachregelung für unser Meta einführen. Ich finde, wir sollten die Sprachregelung von unserem Main übernehmen:

Auf meta.german.SE darf auf Englisch und auf Deutsch gepostet werden.

On meta.german.SE, posting in English or German is possible.

Möglicherweise ergänzt um die von Wrzl genannte Ausnahme.

Answer 3

With respect to the many users who may not yet have a deep knowledge in German we should keep German posts on Meta low.

Meta is important as it is where we create the shape of German Language, where we give guidelines on posting, and where our Help section finally evolves.

We should be open to include all opinions including those of users who may not yet speak German fluently enough to fully understand a question or to participate.

Therefore I believe it is fine to allow German post as an exception but we should not make it the rule.
