@MadaraUchiha Given that we've had a lot of messages with only/mostly Japanese posted here for basically the entire duration of the site (including some by both you and me), it seems a bit weird to ban Japanese entirely. I mean, we even have Japanese text in the room description, and among the regulars here at least a half-dozen (many with moderator/room owner status) are comfortable at least reading Japanese.

That doesn't particularly mean I want this room to be having frequent conversations entirely in Japanese, but I also don't see it as the job of moderators or room owners to police what people talk about in this room so long as it isn't offending anyone. To be honest, in this room, it's likely impossible to write anything in Japanese which would offend one or more users here, and certainly not by someone who is still at the level of writing in romaji.

And, in all honesty, if you have nothing better to do than worry that a total novice somehow managed to make "omoshiroi" into a term which would offend people here, you'd be better off spending your time learning a week's worth of Japanese anyway instead of worrying about that kind of thing in this room.

Or, if someone flags it and you aren't sure, use the "not sure" button. That's what it's there for. SE has at least one employee, a half-dozen moderators, and plenty of 10k users who know Japanese; you don't need to be the one to deal with the (rather unlikey) flags on Japanese stuff here. That's presumably how this room is moderated as well.

I'm not opposed to disallowing Japanese here, but that's if and only if this community decides it. I'm not going to follow some policy on MSE which was voted on and decided by people who aren't even users on this site, and certainly not something on MSO. If you want to make this a rule here, follow the proper protocol and post it on our meta site rather than somewhere that we don't even visit. For all I care, MSO might as well be Reddit.

IMO there's no need for such a policy (this is, after all, a chatroom, and we're here primarily for the sake of recreation), but if you want to make such a policy it needs to be established by consensus in the right place (either here or on meta). As a room owner, I intend to uphold what I view as the consensus of regular users here, not the consensus of MSO users, and at the moment I don't see a consensus that we can't talk in Japanese occasionally.

With that said, I will note that on your post, the top answer (with more than twice the score of your question) essentially says "no, these shouldn't be banned". Shog's accepted answer doesn't say anything about banning them either, only to custom flag them if it's becoming a problem (which I'm quite sure isn't the case here). The top answer which agrees with you, by badp, is quite specific to chat.SO, as he states in the comments.

Shog's eariler MSE answer seems to more-or-less allow Japanese here by merit of the fact that many of the regulars have used it in the past. Given that we're not a site about English content, but a site about Japanese content being presented in English, I think it's reasonable (if not necessary) to allow at least some Japanese here.

If what you're worried about is alienating people who don't speak Japanese, I can understand that, but I hardly think it's reason for banning all talking in Japanese. We talk about programming quite a bit in here, and I don't understand any of that. There's also plenty of talk about Naruto, Bleach, and other series that I don't know anything about.

But given that this is a chatroom, there's no need for me to understand every single message. Likewise, there's no need for everyone here to understand Japanese in order for us to occasionally use it.

I'll also say that I don't understand the analogy to Hinduism and Hindi. Surely the closer analogy would be to Hinduism and Sanskrit. If you look at their room, you'll see that they do use Sanskrit terms fairly commonly, even when English equivalents exist. Islam chat also occasionally uses Arabic, and Judaism chat has at least some Hebrew there.

Anyway, tl;dr: if you really want to impose a more-or-less complete ban on Japanese here, it needs to be either supported by a direct statement of an SE employee, a strong consensus of most/all regulars in chat, or a consensus on meta Anime. I don't consider the voice of one (or even all) moderators to represent a relevant consensus here. Unless and until that happens, I at least will continue to use Japanese whenever I feel like it, and I won't try to stop anyone else from doing so.

@ton.yeung See the discussion I linked to in the first message

Something about us not being allowed to talk in Japanese here

On main site, I agree that we should be an English language site

Not that you can't use Japanese text in a post, but you should give a translation if you do.

In this chatroom, I see merit in us being primarily English, but I don't see any merit in outright banning Japanese.

Have we ever had a wall of romanji here?

The only cases I remember of a wall of anything (other than discussions about anime/manga) is programmer-talk.

Which honestly is kind of off-putting but nbd to me. Can't speak for anyone else though, and I'm not even sure we have any other non-programmer chat regulars.

I don't really care personally. I just ignore it, the same as when people here talk about Naruto or Bleach or other series I don't know/care about.

I mean, if we start having entire discussions in full Japanese, at that point we should get a separate room. But I've never seen that happen in this room.

nhahdth has been here recently and knows Japanese. senshin hasn't been around much lately, but he also knows Japanese. And there's at least 4 relatively infrequent users here who know Japanese at some level.

I don't think we're going to be having conversations entirely in Japanese any time soon here, but we certainly have enough users to do so.

There was a point in time when there were two consecutive proposals "Seduction (for men)" and "Seduction (for women)". Luckily both of them were deleted quickly, but I had half a mind that if they were allowed I'd propose "Seduction (for Mokèlé-mbèmbé)" to make what would be literally the most absurd proposal ever seen on A51.

Mokele-mbembe

Mokèlé-mbèmbé, meaning "one who stops the flow of rivers" in the Lingala language is a legendary water-dwelling creature of Congo River basin folklore, sometimes described as living creature, sometimes as a spirit, and loosely analogous to the Loch Ness Monster in Western culture. It is claimed to be a sauropod by some cryptozoologists. Expeditions mounted in the hope of finding evidence of the Mokèlé-mbèmbé have failed, and the subject has been covered in a number of books and by a number of television documentaries. According to skeptic Robert T. Carroll, "Reports of the Mokèlé-mbèmbé have been...

And if my opinion matters, I don't mind Japanese. I can't read it, but Google Translate gets it close enough.

I have quite some experience in reading google-translated Japanese. And not by choice either.

I have a lot of experience in writing English that google translates well into Japanese.

Mainly because I've been working with someone who speaks almost no English for the past few years.

Yeah. Nagoya.

The emails we send each other are in English. But I need to write the emails that I send him in a very specific way for him to understand.

mirroroftruth

@Vogel612 no body will keep counting

Mysticial

Likewise, the English that he sends me in the emails are clearly auto-translated. But I have enough experience now to "fix" all the common translation errors and figure out what he actually intended to say.

@ton.yeung No. My pi stuff.

Words like "omoshiroi" commonly get translated wrong.

@ton.yeung Yes. His emails very often use "interesting" and "funny" interchangably.

It didn't take me long to realize what he meant to say - and that's only because I watch enough Anime to know what "omoshiroi" means and in what context.

That's just one of the more common examples.

There's a lot of other subtle ones that I can't really name off the top of my head.

A big part of the translation errors probably come from the dropping of pronouns. So I have to infer that from the context.

It sounds painful, but after enough of it, it sorta becomes natural.

The flipped sentence structure also messes up the translators. But that's easy to put back together.

Here's one of the emails I sent him recently:

Taisho

7:51 AM

Mysticial

See if you can tell what is unusual about it:

> The computational speed is the same. The difference is the "CPU Utilization".

I have not changed the multithreading between 9443 and 9444. I updated the Microsoft and Intel compilers, but I don't believe that has to do with it. The compilers should only affect the computational speed. It should not affect the threads.

Vogel612

shorter sentences. clearly qualified nouns. "computational speed" T.T

Mysticial

Exactly. There's more to it than that. But this email is too simple to demonstrate it.

The sentence, "I updated the Microsoft and Intel compilers, but I don't believe that has to do with it." is actually too long.

It should've split it up.

But the back-and-forth translate kept its meaning, so I didn't bother.

nhahtdh

Is it the guy who ran your pi computation to trillion digits?

Mysticial

yeah

I can probably write a good blog on how I communicated with this guy.

Everyone assumes we actually have a language in common, when it's quite the opposite. lol

Vogel612

8:03 AM

btw, @Mysticial wasn't y-cruncher featured in "87 Clockers"?

Mysticial

I speak two languages with useful proficiency, but I'm only literate in English. He's native Japanese and speaks little to no English. I don't know if he speaks anything else though.

@Vogel612 I dunno. Every once in a while, it gets featured somewhere for some benchmarks. But it's still pretty rare.

I've also experimented with using a mix of English with Chinese nouns/verbs (that better convey what I'm trying to say than English). But Google translate fails miserably on mixed language input.

Anyways, 1am. Imma sleep.
