Die unterschiedliche Kultur, die angenommen wird, wenn man ausschließlich eine andere Sprache verwendet, ist wahrscheinlich, zu bedeuten, daß ein Pfosten weniger Bedeutung hat.

As automatic translators become better, maybe this is more a function of the user selecting to have a web site filtered through a translator as opposed to you the blogger providing the translation. As I thought more about it, I wondered if the need of a different langauge wouldn't also impact the relevance of the posts. Take your blog. For those who would be interested in the diverse subject matter blogged about, but did not spek English, would a direct translation really meet their need? Or would additional information, perspective, etc be what would really be wanted?
