Perl Poetry has an interesting entry by dmitri, which includes Russian. Eventually, it was approved by Corion, but only after dmitri considered his own node asking why. The Consideration is currently at "keep: 2 edit: 1 reap: 2", and the reputation at +10/-10. Also, in Perl Poetry, it says there are 3 replies, yet in Nodes To Consider i says there are 4. (I only see 3 replies to the actual node.)

Are foreign languages acceptable on PM? If not, are exceptions made for Perl Poetry, or only when English is the majority, or when it is easily translatable?

Replies are listed 'Best First'.

    I have no problem with Poetry in any language, natural, artificial, programming, fictional, extinct. I just didn't like the fact you had to pronounce "code" as "cawd" to make the poem rhyme.

    Perlmonks uses Windows-1252 for encoding; so, for example, it's impossible (?) to use Russian in code tags. So I guess it's a bad idea to use Russian (and many other languages and symbols) on this site.

      And herein we witness how printed Ook will appear after the Cantonese, RomaSaxon-Esperanto Reconciliation of 2136.
