(2)There is dedicated Local board for popular languages: Bitcointalk forum isn't just a place for only English discussion, they have locals where you can communicate with other members of you can't speak your language of countries like Russia, India, Arabic, Turkey, China, and many more. They also have unofficial thread for other languages that are not yet available like Naija unofficial board. I will also be happy when Theymos approved our Naija board.
Seems creation of local board is still a huge process where as others requested a board for their own but of course there are parameters before its creation like how many users in that particular board. There are some who havent yet have any boards probably due to low members quantity to be able to make it.
Im not sure hows the qualification for this. Maybe theymos is strict or not necessary for that board due to that reason.
