That might be good. I'm new here so don't know how many there are of us. Bearing in mind the language of exchange here is English, would it be worth incorporating a Translation button like they have on Facebook, so that more believers whose native language is not English could join in? Otherwise I suppose it will mainly be the English-speaking nations or those for whom English would be the expected second language to learn, or those who are good at languages. From a technological point of view, I don't know how complicated it would be to set up.

PS: Or could participants indicate which country they are from, so that people could choose who to interact with by selecting a button with that country on it? Eg, all the people who live in Sweden be found by selecting the option "Sweden" from a drop down menu?

The software this site is built on is not customization friendly. And translation software often still falls quite short. And advertisements for the site are only in English, anyways. Except perhaps in Filipino also (the owner lives in the Philippines).
Also that creates a big job in finding new and trustworthy mods so every language is covered. And as it is im not sure most mods even do anything currently anyways as I only ever see one of them. At least on the forums.

In an ideal world it would be a feasible and good idea, but with the limitations of the site it would be too much to take on.
