Hello, as I recently got back from my break from scratch, I decided to go into Spanish as my language and explore. While doing it, i found that the CGs are not translated. After a little more language switching, I realized that this is the case for most languages. I do think that the CGs should be fully translated. Let me know what you think. Thanks!

Support; I tried it, and almost all of the text, (I think 97% of it) in the Community Guidelines was not translated. this possibly could be confusing for people that speak different languages…

Support. This is kind of a high severity, because most people who don't speak English won't be able to read this, which means they won't really know the rules around the site. Similarly, things like the browser extension and userscript policy cannot be translated, as they are forum posts, so people who can't read English won't be able to know about that either.

That needs to be fixed, Spanish is one of the major world languages so any issues with translation can restrict access for a lot of people.

Support, this would help scratchers understand clearer by reading their native language.

Same… I don't understand fully either. My friends have just broken the Browser Extension Policy.
(q: this should be in translating scratch, shouldn't it?)

Translating Scratch is this:
Topics that are used to communicate between translators.
Topics that shows how to help us translate Scratch.
Topics about International Scratch-Wiki.
This is a suggestion about translating the CGs, and doesn't fall under this?
(please correct if i'm wrong)

Since Spanish is such a widely used language, and the Community Guidelines are very important, this is a very big issue that must be fixed.

Support, it seems weird that they didn't translate the CGs as Spanish is the most common language.

Support! This is really needed because a high number of scratchers speak different languages, such as spanish.

Support. This is a very big issue as Spanish is one of the most used languages worldwide, and the community guidelines are possibly the most important document on scratch, so yes. We want people to understand the Community Guidelines, do we not?

support! since the cgs are what determine who gets banned/etc, not having them accessible to the whole community seems like a huge oversight. I would say that they should be translated to all languages that the rest of the site is available in, if they aren't already.

All the other languages are translated, as far as i know. This problem is just in the Spanish CG.

Support. I'm part Spanish myself, so I think it's really important to have something as important as the Community Guidelines in different languages. Otherwise, some people might not understand what it has to say. It's very important to have the Community Guidelines translated. This really needs to be fixed.

They are translated into all(or most) other languages

Support, as a bilingual speaker (English and Spanish), I know lots of people that speak the Spanish language, and for users that only speak Spanish, it's important for everyone to know the CG
