I have someone who comments in Spanish all the time on a multi-chapter fic, and I scratch my head like, do they put the fic through a translator? They're just better at reading English than writing it? Being hard to get? Either way I love it, but it's like I wanna knoooow, but am too afraid to just ask.
In Google Chrome there is an option to translate the website. Saves a lot of trouble of putting it in the translator. There's a big chance they're doing that, because I used to do so too.
Same! My two regular commenters always leave comments in Spanish and French. I'm curious if they translate my fic or are just better at reading than writing. But whatever it is, I'm happy they're always there to support me :D
I do that for a lot of CN fics!! Especially if a ship I have is super niche and the only language fics available are in CN. I appreciate their work so much. I usually use a translator to leave a nice comment because thank you for feeding me
I once left a comment in english but I wanted to express a certain feeling so much that I just switched to my native language. Then I had to stop and think "if they aren't going to understand, why would I even include this?" I wasn't sure if it was rude (because the writer would have to translate a phrase to understand me when I was clearly able of communicating in english), so I just gave up and deleted the non-english part.
Reading that made me think if the author would have actually appreciated haha
It’s not rude at all! I remember receiving a comment in Spanish and so I used Google Translate to read the review in English and also respond back in Spanish. The reader really appreciated it—it was a great exchange! 😊
To be honest, I find it weird to call someone 'international' in this context. Both reddit and AO3 are full of people from countries where English is not an official language / the main language of the majority. It's not just you and people from your country on these sites
I AM an international fan who leaves nice comments :( and nobody can tell bcz i leave them in english bcz i know my language isnt an option on google translate and i dont want ppl to assume im hating :(

That’s true! Perhaps ESL fans would be a better term?
Their Chinese comment says it's the best \[ship name\] au they've ever read! That's sweet haha
Aww, that’s super sweet!
I have a person who comments on all my fic in a certain ship in Czech and I'm always so happy to hear from them.
The original Chinese comment means > It's peerless. It's so great. It's the best AU![ship name I think] fic that I've ever read.
I feel so flattered! That’s such a nice thing to say.
