This is rather subjective, but I am mostly interested in how similar languages do approach certain contexts within l10n. To elaborate, it’s mostly about how actions are conveyed, what terminology is used, and how the language itself is laid out on the interface. I should note though, I’m a bit of a nerd on this, so it might not apply to all communities.

Personally, it’d help me a lot to know, that should there be a place to discuss on things/news/ideas, it would help flourish the communities. Sometimes it kills my drive to write new stuff, knowing that there is no place where people could easily give feedback or contribute ideas.

Looking forward to this.
