I think this could be compounding the problem, especially given that translations can differ. Whose translation would be correct if there is a disagreement? And how would the moderators know if there is a concern about what has been written?
You are probably right, but we are not going to write always in Gaelic. For example if Robbie or Nathan gave me a reply in Gaelic, I would like to reply using the same language, also including a translation.
