I can speak English, but according to this wikipedia article, I am in the minority:

I believe, that this community is about helping and efectivnes, so we should help people from foreigner countries speak in the most effective way... encouraging them in the same time, to be part of this mostly English speaking community of Steem.

There are a lot of articles wrote in different than English languages already here, but so far newcomers have to struggle to find out folks from their own country.

I believe that by adding 2 simple features, we can solves a lot of problems and at the same time will clean your list of post from stories which use a lot of letters like this: ąłóę, Стим, ράφ.

Feature 1:

We should take a list of Internet top-level domains, and use those domains/suffixes (.de, .pl, .cn, es) as steemit.com subdomains/prefixes:

• de.steemit.com
• pl.steemit.com
• cn.steemit.com
• es.steemit.com

Estimated development effort: probably something near $0 (this should be a matter of DNS configuration)

Feature 2

Whenever you use address http://xyz.steemit.com/, subdomain should be added to all tags as prefix, if they were not used in the first place:

#xyz-cars #xyz-steemit #xyz-tesla

in JavaScript (ES6), that would be 1 line of code:

tags = tags.map(tag => tag.indexOf(domain + '-') == 0 ? tag : domain + '-' + tag);

Translations are not needed right now

You might think, that I will also mention about translations, but in my opinion, interface of Steemit.com is so simple and intuitive, that people can wait for this a little bit longer. But it would be shame to wait for language-tags when they can be implement so easily...
