It's worth a shot, but to date, I haven't seen any other mailing lists work effectively with multi-language lists. What happens when people start posting in German, Portuguese, Icelandic, or Maori? It will be hard to cut through the noise on the list for many of us. I don't want to discriminate against languages either, but if it's a language that only a minority of the subscribers will understand, I suggest that it have its own dedicated list, such as freeswitch-users-zh. I guess the alternative for people who don't want to see posts they won't understand, is to configure a spam filter to reject based on content-type (until the majority of Asian users start posting in UTF-8).

Its both. We do not discriminate based on language. So if you can't read Chinese just ignore those. Or you could ask them to post in both languages? I can't read chinese either but I did feed them to a translator and I did get the idea of what they were talking about without much effort.
Thanks, Brian

Hello all,
Is this an English-speaking mailing list or a Chinese-speaking mailing list? I thought it was English-speaking, this is why I subscribed. If it is not, please let me know because I cannot read Chinese...
Thank you, Vlasis Hatzistavrou.
