we have had problems in the past of people slurring and just swearing in general, in foreign languages.

i personally don't really get your argument, because someone won't take 30s to translate it themselves, maybe like 20 people would have to do so. All our staff are native english speakers and it's too much effort to consistently translate the messages to review that they are appropriate for the wiki, when translators are easily available online.

Of course i don't think a ban directly is fair, that's why we tend to resort firstly to warnings in the speakers native language
