Hey,

We're French and it's indeed hard for us to get this perfectly right and focusing on the project itself at the same time.

We're planning to move this to github in order to let the community help us on this.

I'm more than willing to help edit the English you write for this project. Let me know if you're interested.

Definitely! My email is my HN handle at gmail

Hey, I think you're doing the right thing, in 1) asking for help from the community in an area where you feel lacking, and 2) by making it available to the best your ability. Many projects fail at one of those two, which dooms them to never have a community. Keep up the good work.

Just because I'm curious, why would you not use your native language for the content on your page?

Seems an easy question. English is basically a/the global language. If you want a massive portion of the community to find the content inaccessible, making it available only in French is a good way to do so.

nidium is an open source tech project not a local product.

Starred because your answers here are beautiful.

Because English is the most spoken language in the world perhaps? Its even more noticeable in tech, because a lot of docs only seem to be in English.

I'm pretty sure the most spoken language is Chinese.

chinese is the most spoken native language.

english is the most spoken secondary language.
