I have been asked privately by some people why if this is supposed to be a bilingual forum, everything is in English lately. It seems that there are some people who are afraid of posting in English only and that detracts them from joining us.
OK, here are the "rules". Apolyton is an English-speaking site. This is therefore a primarily English-speaking forum. BUT, if you wanna post something in Spanish, you can. You really can! It's only that you'd receive much lesser responses. But again, sure you can post in Spanish!
EDIT: Important clarification: what shouldn't be done is to use both languages within the same thread. That wouldn't be respectful to our English-speaking friends. I was referring to posting in Spanish in threads dedicated only to Spanish.

Explicando lo anterior en pañó: Se acepta español aqui, por supuesto. Si quereis postear en español podeis hacerlo perfectamente. Pero por favor recordad que Apolyton es un sitio anglofono y que obviamente la mayoria de la gente solo habla ingles. Por tanto las threads en español reciben muchos menos replicas. Pero por poder, podeis, claro que podeis. Está claro?
Lo que no se debe hacer es mezclar los dos idiomas en una misma thread. Si una thread va en ingles se debe usar solo ingles. Si se abre en castellano, se usa el castellano
(como se traduciria 'thread?
)

I will have this as a sticky thread for a few days, as I want any Spanish-speaking lurker to be aware of this.
