Description Yair Rand 2013-10-29 04:01:17 UTC
It would be helpful if signatures could display differently depending on the viewer's language, such that a user could set one version of their signature to display for English users, one for Korean users, etc.

(I haven't the slightest idea how this could be feasible, but it would be useful if possible nonetheless.)

Can you please indicate what the value of this feature is? I fail to see a lot of value, at the expense of adding complex UI interactions.

It is frequently frustrating to see signatures in incomprehensible scripts. If there are many users in a thread whose usernames are series of Chinese characters, it can be difficult for readers who can't read Chinese to hold onto the flow of the thread when distinguishing the signatures is difficult.
