    It's against the purpose of this group if you sitck here only
    because English articles are frequent.  When there are other
    fj groups which are more appropriate, please use them.  You
    are welcome if your topic is suited to this group.

    Translations might cause various problems, so it might be
    a good idea to write in multiple languages yourself because
    more people can read your article.  Of course it's up to you.

    If you explicitly include permission to translate your article,
    volunteer translator might translate your article to other
    languages.  But it's up to your decision.

    Even if you do not include explicit permission, minimum amount
    of quotation is always possible, and such part might also be
    translated.  Or your article can always be summerized.  The
    same holds for other fj groups.

    If you think your article is suitable for other fj groups
