Multilingual Publishing on Medium…
a Must!
Dear Medium,
Could you implement the option to offer multilingual stories and series to our readers? I am using it on other platforms and it is amazing. The ability to address potentially anyone and everyone if one can manage to write in multiple languages would be a game changer.
There are more and more bilinguals or polyglots over the World but we also need to think about those who speak one language that is not the English one.
I write in English as well as French and am now working on my Spanish.
All we need is an option, a toggle, something to allow the reader to switch the language of the story or series when writers offer multiple versions. I have indeed seen some writers posting the same story in multiple languages or having to create multiple accounts to not pollute their feed with duplicates. This is inefficient. It dilutes the writer’s effort and the reader’s.
I am already amazed at Medium’s features and I couldn’t go back to a life without the platform. But we NEED the following too:
- The ability to write multiple versions of the same story or series that the reader can chose from (either directly on the story/series as a toggle or in the settings so that articles appear to them in their preferred languages…
