I just recently noticed that a comic, this one, has had its description changed from English to Spanish.

 

I understand that this site hosts comics in all languages, which is why I don't think it's appropriate for me to change the description back to its original English state. However, the same also applies to the inverse, where the description was changed from English to Spanish.

 

I was wondering what Batoto's stance is in this matter.

 

The best compromise I can think of, is add support for multiple languages to comic descriptions, similar to how it's solved with comics already.

Descriptions are to be in English only, otherwise quite a few pages would have descriptions in several languages, and that would be far too messy and confusing.

I feel like, after Grumpy gets done with the Follows and Comic Search changes, he should include comic descriptions in other languages. He could then use the Global Language Filter to decide which language to show in the description (or fall back to English if no description is available in that language). I haven't quite worked out how it would work for people with multiple languages in their GLF, but I'm thinking on it.

Make a list with priorities (say, English -> Spanish -> and so on) and add language selection buttons to quickly select description lang.
