While direct support for other languages in questions is pending it would be very helpful if aardvark permitted questions in other languages if and only if they are tagged with an <a href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ISO_639-1">ISO 639-1</a> language code. This is actually something that I expected to just "work" since it does not require much on Aardvark's part. For example, I sent a question today via twitter written in greek and hashtagged #athens #architecture #el ('el' being the code for the Greek language). Since this went straight to my twitter followers I wanted it to be written in Greek since only the people living in Athens, Greece could answer this question (and many don't know english architectural terminology). But at the same time this question could have been posed to the a) the social network on Aardvark interested in athens architecture (likely to speak Greek) and b) the greek speaking crowd on aardvark who might also by chance know the answer.
To avoid annoyance there could be a user setting to only allow english plus a number of different language tags to be posed to a user.
