my post on this thread apparently did not go through so i try and suggest something else (please ignore precedent) : "Que ta langue soit avec nous" or : "Affiches ici ta langue !" to make it sure people get a hint that it is about conlang, maybe we could add "own" / "propre" : "Your own language goes here" "Affiches ici ta propre langue" and i suggest the japanese text could be more explicit : "Anata ga tsukutta gengo mo koko ni" (put) here too the language you made just to make Fabian despair. mathias
