Feel free to post on the local board as long as you can read and write in their language without using any translation tools or AI. It's not necessary to be a local resident of that specific region, as long as you can effectively communicate your message in public.

The only exception I've observed is that you can post on another local board if you are mentioned and need to discuss important matters of any kind.

Recently I've been browsing the French subforum of BitcoinTalk - I'm a Canadian who frequently visits Quebec every once in a while - as such my French is rusty but I can understand the basic premise of what's being discussed.
It depends on local board mod. If he is strict and if it is difficult to understand what you are trying to say, he may delete it as a spam unless you create a separate topic dedicated to your desire to learn that language.

I tried to do this with the Chinese language. I had a transaction that required me to travel there and I started to learn some words, but I did not find active members here, so it may be good for those who have the ability to write and understand sentences, but the wording remains weak, but it is understandable.

You can speak two or more languages as long as you understand and have some certain level in order to not annoy the local users. I think you can try it, if your post not get deleted by the moderator, you're fine.

But you actually can use google translate if you just want to seek an answer from the local community or answering someone else post that mention your username. The only thing forbid of google translate usage is when you use that for making money or abuse e.g. translating a bounty project, trying to become a local poster etc.

Not sure there's many reading this from those subforums, but actually genuinely curious if anyone else does this to perhaps improve their fluency in other languages. I have tried to post in the past, usually erasing my response due to anxiety of getting sentences wrong - honestly curious if anyone in those subforums would care or mind?
