I think it comes back to your goal. If you just want to know what others are discussing right now, learning a new language is probably a tough thing to do. I'm interested in Japanese and Korean but I don't think making a new thread on the Japanese or Korean sub-boards is the best thing to do.
I also think that people who visit and make posts with Google Translate (but never explicitly said so) are quite annoying to some extent, but I don't mind if OP is interested in Indonesian and tries to make posts on the local board as long as he mentions that he's trying to learn the language.
It's difficult if not downright inconsistent to learn a new language and the alphabet alone is different from our local language.
Japan and Korea seem to be quiet on the board, with not too many activities going on.
Trying to learn a new language and tell the truth that they are from another sub-local, rather than having to lie.
Remembering the past when the bounty campaign was still quite crowded with translators many claimed that they were local members of Russia, Korea, Japan, or from a quiet sub-local.
Even though they came from Indonesian or other sub-locals in order to get a quiet sub-local translator campaign.
Many members disguise themselves as if they are local members in order to get the opportunity to become a translator.
