It appears to me as if these are mostly or all machine translations. If anyone can help translate these more idiomatically, that would certainly be appreciated. Agtx (talk) 17:28, 6 July 2015 (UTC)[reply]
It is much, much, worse than that. The Japanese one for example, is simply gibberish, and I shall replace it with a very brief summary of what it is trying to say. Imaginatorium (talk) 17:23, 22 April 2016 (UTC)[reply]

Description of suggested change: Change "As it is not in Latin script, it may not display correctly for many other users." to "As it is not in Latin script, it may not display correctly for a few other users." Technology has advanced enough that only a few people would have an issue.

The language at that guideline reads: "non-Latin scripts, such as Arabic, Georgian, Chinese, Cyrillic, Greek, Hebrew, Indic scripts, Japanese, Korean, Persian, Thai and others, are illegible to most other contributors to the English Wikipedia." That language makes sense to me, and we should probably match this template's wording to the guideline. How about "As it is not in Latin script, it may be illegible to most other contributors to the English Wikipedia."? – Jonesey95 (talk) 00:09, 4 May 2023 (UTC)[reply]
