And it’s that - it is necessary to say it - it worries me that the main node of reception in the anglophone blogosphere has a vision of the world so cool and hungry for exoticism.

Or cou can use English in the separate information you abstract specially for google. Or in the abstract of your RSS feed. There are A LOT of solutions.

Doncs que per a que GVO indexi un blog, aquest ha de ser en anglès, amb una excusa tan animal com que Google no sap llegir en Myanmar. Aquesta animalada torna a posar a la palestra un dels “imperialismes” més famosos, el linguístic i anglocentric. Si no escrius en anglès, no ets global ni ets voice ni ets res, i molt menys et llegeix algú. I si fas el pas i escrius en anglès, tampoc tens cap garantia. [...] [...] Quin és el problema doncs?

To be a real Global Voice, one must speak English... Why don't you learn other languages, native English speakers? It's better to teach Google to speak any language than to tell people that their languages are useless. Be a Global Voice, write in as many languages as you can! The only English world is not my world. Don't let it to be yours. Oh, yes ok, let’s all forget our languages.
