How can we improve Scoop.it?

More than one language

I have two topics for Cuba news... one that I intended to do in English and one in Spanish. But many readers of this subject are bilingual... It would be great if there were some categorization tools so I could tag stories either by subject matter or language (that way bilingual readers could view all stories, and readers who only spoke one of the two languages could filter accordingly). I would use tags, but how many people would really think to us them since they aren't displayed until you click "tags"?

        Same here: I would like to curate contents both in German and English. As a quick fix, for me it would already be helpful to apply no language filter at all. But being able to apply multiple language filters would be the optimum.

        I work with teachers of basic education in Mexico and they usually do not speak English. I would very much appreciate and are, to include the possibility of offering the alternate language Scoop into English, including, of course! - Spanish.

        Best regards.

        I encounter exactly the same problem. I'm French, but I'd like to curate, follow and post in both French and English since most sources on my interests are in English.

        I would appreciate the following bilingual support: Iď love to have the opportunity to write my titles and descriptions in both Czech and English. Then the page might recognise users language from the IP and display in different languages while aggregating the same usage statistics.

        YES! My readers are ALL multilingual (and before you ask, I live in Luxembourg where education is in German for primary school and French in secondary school, English is compulsory, and 43% of the population is from abroad, ie speaks a 4th language at home) and instead of being force to chose ONE, I'd like to TICK the languages allowed, simple as that. (and an edit function here ? :-)

        @najimenez

        Your idea is excellent! I hadn't even thought of it, but it would really be nice to filter a Scoop.It site by languages, as an option.

        My idea of "including more than one language" refers to the interface of Scoop.It. This way, people who don't speak English could use this software in the future.

        Thank you @Cindy for merging these topics. This was a good idea! ¡Fue una buena idea! ;-)

        I would like to include more than one language in the account profile.
