A slightly different take on [AA's idea](https://judaism.codidact.com/a/276891/276895) to use the Categories feature: Maintain two categories of Q&A with the same scope and rules, but with the language of discourse in one (`Q&A`) being English, and the language of discourse in the other (`שו"ת`) being Hebrew. Whatever accessibility rules we have that assume knowledge of English apply in שו"ת with the assumption being knowledge of Modern Hebrew. If possible, use a set of tags in שו"ת that are in Hebrew, but are synonymized to their English counterparts in Q&A, so that tag searches bring up related results from both. (I expect this would require code changes.) On Meta, keep the language of discourse in English. As much as possible, make FAQ and Help pages bilingual. To make this work, we'd need to make sure that the moderator team includes at least one moderator who's *fluent* in Modern Hebrew. This setup would allow us to host Q&A for much more of the Jewish world, while ensuring that in each Q&A space, all of the posts are baseline legible to those reading them.
