Also, ANN spam is annoying; I'd like to see it all confined to one board (which could be trivially ignored), not machine-translated all over the place

Is there a solution to creating a topic in 15 languages? Let's say I'm trying to announce bitcoin for the first time. Why shouldn't I be able to post the ANN in my native language?

Finally, how would those users who cannot understand an English-language ANN be able to otherwise interact with the altcoin team in English?

If your native language wasn't english, you would understand that it's very hard for a new user to understand Whitepapers, ANN posts, and most technical terms for crypto in english. A translated page helps the average user to understand more about a coin. They will then INVEST in the coin.
By your logic, no one should ever translate anything! They may be here to read the ANN, not take part in discussions, dev talk Huh
