Thanks, the question is 100% answered and it's nice to know that the 
rules relating languages are not hard, but please allow me to explain 
myself just a bit more, if it's only to clarify that I don't have 
anything against English... :-) I was not thinking on cases in which 
writing English could be hard to someone, I guess everybody here can 
write understandable English without too much hassle... My question was 
rather related to a practical matter: if I want to touch a topic that 
only a particular "group of people" can answer and it would also be 
clearer in a particular language and, moreover, it would be 
non-interesting to anybody else, I see no reason to discuss the topic in 
English. I'm thinking here concretely (but not only) on subtracting a 
donation to Octave from taxes (if this is possible at all), which is an 
issue that depends on local laws and involves language-specific 
expressions... If I live in Germany, I see no point on asking this issue 
to the entire list in English to get an answer from a German speaking 
but also in English and try to clarify later on what exactly is the 
German expression for the discussed tax guidance or which is the German 
name of the taxes form I have to fill out, and so one... This would be a 
lot easier if I simply discuss it in German and, furthermore, I'm also 
relatively sure nobody else really cares about the German taxes system 
but Germans... :-) ok, nothing against the German taxes system... also, 
nichts für ungut, herr Fiskus... :-)
