Okay so someone already tried it and didn't make enough to sustain it.
SN's primary challenge lies in its limited pool of stackers, coupled with an even smaller number of users keen on contributing in languages other than English. Nevertheless, it would be an intriguing experiment for SN to sponsor a new territory dedicated to non-English languages, where stackers could freely share a wide range of content.

I wholeheartedly second that.
I doubt this will be economically viable, given that SN remains heavily US-centric...
it would be even cooler if the territory had some mechanism for paying sats for a translation of the thread
You've seen ChatGPT abuse, now get ready for, Google translate abuse!
was thinking SN could run its own translation tool & charge sats to use it
but yah.. i could use the translate app too.
Yeah... Well, on the bright side, I'm sure, in a system with a root foreign territory, the cost for the sub territories could became bearable. Again, that's all a dream of mine, we don't have sub territories yet...
Yep, the costs are steep indeed. But I guess in a context where the owner of the root-territory foreign territory could lend or sell the sub-territories, even the 3 millions sats could be worth a shot.
Do you have sub-territories?
They weren't implemented yet. There is a pending Github issue around it: https://github.com/stackernews/stacker.news/issues/711
TIL the source code for this miraculous website is open source, how cool!
I thought about opening a spanish sub, but the cost to buy a territory made me reconsider. I'm not really sure how many Spanish speakers would use that territory
