Ruby was already widely popular in Japan when it was still largely unknown in the rest of the world. The best demonstration of this occurred at RubyConf 2002 where a stack of 23 japanese Ruby books was displayed. This was at a time when Programming Ruby and Matz' O'Reilly book were the only ones around for English speakers.As many of you know, Ruby was created in Japan by Yukihiro Matsumoto, and most of the core development team is still Japanese to this day. This has posed a serious problem for the Ruby community, since the language barrier between the Japanese core team and community and the English-speaking community is extremely high. Only a few members of the core team can speak English comfortably, so discussions about the future of Ruby, bug fixes, and new features happens almost entirely on the Japanese ruby-dev mailing list. That leaves those of us English speakers on the ruby-core mailing list out in the cold.The topic of the language gap is also being discussed on the ruby-core mailing list.

face it. learning Japanese! just ask some non-English speak programmers how they have fixed this kind of problem: lenaring English!
You mean "... how they have fixed this kind of problem: learning English!" I believe Nutter is pointing out two problems. First the there aren't enough books on the subject of Ruby and secondly that it would be helpful if someone provided a translation tool for the mailing list. There are many websites out there now that provide this kind of feature for language translation, but none automate it for mailing list. Besides, no offense to those that speak multiple languages, but English is the second spoken most spoken language in the world and climbing (Considering it was ranked about 3 or so in the late 90s). It's right behind Mandarin (Go figure, can't beat a billion people :). Best regards, Richard L. Burton III
No offense, but .. You actually meant: "First there aren't enough books on Ruby" English is the third spoken language in the world: http://www2.ignatius.edu/faculty/turner/languages.htm There are tons of really good ruby books in English. Have you shopped online recently? There are also dozens of powerful tools to translate anything from Japanese to English. Look at the awesome work than Jim Breen has done: http://www.csse.monash.edu.au/~jwb/wwwjdic.html Lazyness is not going to bring you anything.
