My point being that the person reading the question is doing so in their language (which is very likely a translation from the original), they then answer what they've understood from the (possibly translated) question. Which in turn is read and commented on by the next person, again based on a translated version, until ultimately the original question does not arrive suitably and understandably answered in the language as asked. This leads to some rather bad outcomes.
I have been part of threads that had several 'original' language contributions - but yet all I read was English. It is absolutely incredible how many different versions the same concept can have when it is translated over and over. The way of expression in one language is not always conveyed with the same intend in another language.
