Folk writing what language they speak is just as good as declaring what country they are from, which I did get slated at for making a thread on it.
What is missing now is you speaking Glesga Scots :lol:
I remember once a thread opened by someone who asked as a general discussion what countries are the other members from, I think you are reffering to that thread that you opened as far as I remember, But here is a different matter, All these members said themselves what laguage they are translating in, this is why, as I stated to @StraitShot47, is not much of a secret anymore as without this information, we wouldn't have been able to start the whole project. Let's say we would have opened the translation threads without anybody saying what language they are translating in, they would have joined the relevant threads anyway, making no difference. If someone with negative intentions wanted to know this information and haven't seen the list I posted, they could easily go to the thread where everybody joined the translation as they stated there what language they are translating in.
Also, is not completely true that mentionning a language automatically reveals one's country of origin. Members said what language they want to translate in, but it doesn't mean that is their native language, or that they live in the country where that language is native. Actually, not all languages are native to only one country. Say Spanish for example, in how many countries is Spanish the official language? If someone speaking Spanish joined the project, you can assume he is from Spain, but at the end of the day this remains an assumption as Spanish is spoken in several countries and no one can tell where that person lives only using this information.
Also another thing that no one can tell, if someone joined and stated their language, it doesn't mean they still live in the country where that language is native. Say for example French. If a member speaking French joined, it doesn't neccesarily mean they live in France or a country where French is official language, and if they take good privacy/anonimity measures, nobody can figure this out neither.
