I don't feel strong about this at all, I am teaching bilingual (German/English) at a German university myself.
Also, quote from the first comment in this discussion tree: not all contain translations then another person It's a .de site, for a German conference and then the post I responded to: I don't see how this is related.
My response was aimed at the anglosphere arrogance of assuming naturally that everyone has to do everything in their language.
Yeah, not all contain translations, and the lack of translations makes the feature that was suggested (the ability to filter by language) useful. I think you misunderstood what OP was saying.
Nobody assumed that "everyone has to do everything in their language", and please remember that english specifically is not used because of this but rather because it plays the role of a "lingua franka". The real arrogance is when there is an active attempt to exclude people by third parties in an event that explicitly attempting to be international, inclusive, antiracist, antinationalist, antiborder, etc.
Who is trying to exclude anybody? If German was the lingua franca, would you demand that a conference in the US or China offer translations on their recordings, and call them racist if they didn't?

I am sure that an imaginary version of me would respond to this completely unrelated hypothetical question. But personally I really don't see how it fits into anything.
This nationalistic spirit wouldn't fit in CCC anyway so I don't get why you feel so strongly about this.
