"Postings in German are now supported as well, and other languages may follow.”
From my experience: don't bet on it. I posted a German phrase as a reply to LeKZ. LeKZ stated that she'd read a sentence by I. Asimov saying (something like) "even the gods are helpless against stupidity”
I replied that that was a quote from the German Poet Schiller who said that "(German version)”, marked as a translation.
Three weeks after posting my reply it was still hidden. After a short conversation with TPTB I got back my posting on the condition that the German sentence was removed.
So much for the support of German.
Good entry Lucinda!

Give it a chance, will you? It was announced only a few hours ago. Did you follow the link in the footnote? http://www.bbc.co.uk/h2g2/guide/F55683?thread=133655 :-) I agree, good entry! :-)

Fast enough 
Thanks both for your support. I've only posted links to this to a couple of places so far, but I'm pleased that already people are coming here and saying that it's a useful entry.
