I haven't seen any mention of this, and I'm very new to publishing on Lit, so I figured I'm gonna ask.
What do you do with foreign language (i.e. non-English) comments on your (English) stories?
I've had several so far, all in Spanish, and it kinda surprised me. I cannot quite understand the motivation of people leaving them. They have clearly enjoyed the story (Google Translate told me so, since my Spanish is negligible), so they clearly posses sufficient command of English to read not just fiction, but erotic fiction no less. I have a hard time believing they weren't able to write a comment that other readers would be much more likely to understand.
Perhaps I'm overthinking this. If you do receive comments like that, what do you with them? Leave? Delete? Something else?
