Askers identifying their target market and/or whether it is a neutral term in X language instead of a regional one?

Rgds,

a good idea Dec 20, 2006

i think that's an excellent idea. also, i don't know about the other languages, but when you answer in english you need to specify between US or UK and in portuguese, between PT and BR when you answer, yet this information doesn't show up in the answer. why have a field to specify when it's not even included in the final answer? it seems kind of stupid.

Thanks Sara Dec 20, 2006

I agree with you, we have to identify the target language, so the Asker should also identify the source/target in order to get proper answers.

Cheers!

I second the idea Dec 20, 2006

I think a target country/region field should be compulsory at least for certain languages. It would be extremely useful for the asker, the answerers and for all KudoZ users in general.

Not so sure Dec 21, 2006

I think most of the innovations that are introduced just make it less user firendly.
