But in this way 4/5 of world population are not able to participate. I don't think this is inclusive and respectful for diversity.

- IQunder130 5y agoThis is such a non-argument I'm tempted to call it disingenuous. People speaking different languages is a historical accident, just because it's the situation right now doesn't mean it is anything to strive for. A single shared language allows everybody to participate in the process and not depend on someone having translated this or that particular bit of information from language X to language Y. There's a reason the scientific and business communities have always gravitated toward having a lingua franca. Multilingualism is a barrier in human development that should be overcome, not something to celebrate or protect.
