On the Let’s Encrypt community forums, we’ve been seeing a pattern:

Users show up in the “needs approval” queue with a legitimate post – these users actually do need help – but invariably in broken English that takes significant mental effort to comprehend.

I just realized that this is due to those users **copy-pasting their post out of a Translate tool**.

I have no idea how to resolve this, so I’m posting this topic for further discussion. In the meantime, we’ve been just approving all of these posts.
