Why should Steem reach Spanish speakers?

in languages •  7 years ago  (edited)

As we already know, Steem is a rewards platform based on blockchain for publishers to monetize the content and make the community grow. And there's the keyword, "community."

To this day, the Cervantes Institute estimates that around 559 million people speak Spanish, including native speakers, limited-domain speakers and students of Spanish as a foreign language, which means, that if we want a bright future in Steem, we have to start working on a multi language platform, giving the possibility of finding posts in a specific language, and Internet users who can not write or express themselves correctly in English, offer them an opportunity to contribute at least a grain of sand to the community, with their opinions or posts in their native language.

I do not pretend to divide and create conflict, it is a simple opinion. But if we want Steem to grow in a medium-long term, we have to know how to choose the right path to achieve it.

Hi @nanoking,

We are actually working toward building the spanish/castellano community over here.

We have plenty of initiatives that are working all day to bring support for these new members as well as providing new tools.

I, as a Witness am working with other witnesses including @nnnarvaez and @dropahead.

We expect great things to happen and we are seeing a continuous growth of this population. Check out @bienvenida reports which posts a daily report of the spanish-speaking people who wrote either an #introduceyourself post or their very first spanish post.
