I live in Croatia and I feel i wouldn't get any critics from you great people if i post something that's meant for Croatian market (language barriers etc..) hence the question.

There is a user/account who regular posts about the Nordic startup scene. Some of those posts are popular, others aren't. The posts are written english though. Personally I would downvote/flag any language I don't understand.

I guess it will not be very popular, but you can try, especially if it's a project that has no equivalent in English.

Add a warning [Croatian] in the title and an autotranslation link as a comment. I guess in spite of the language someone can give general advice like "remove half of the text from the front page", "make the buttons bigger and oranger", "I really don't understand what you are trying to sell", ...

I remember and interesting project in Japanesse: "What's Perky? My Handmade Keyboard" http://homepage2.nifty.com/perky/index.htm HN discussion: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8510800 (33 points, 290 days ago, 13 comments) I'd really would have preferred an English translation, but it's interesting enough to get an upvote.

[On the other hand, I think that all the comments here must be in English.]
