Related: Are questions asked in conlangs accepted on this site?
I thought, as this is a site about languages, it wouldn't be a bad idea to have a separate chatroom for talking in conlangs. Well, I didn't create one yet. I thought that I should first ask here.
Few people are very proficient in many conlangs, especially if you exclude Esperanto which I assume already has chat rooms. Anyone can make chat rooms if they want, so go ahead, but I wouldn't expect it to be all that well populated considering the size of the site.
As for the main chat room, I'd say no, keep that to English.
I think chat in an invented language ought to be encouraged; but as curiousdannii says, keep the main chatroom in English.
Caveat:
It is also common courtesy to provide, at the least, a translation of what's being said for the benefit of everyone else who doesn't know the language being used.
Sorry, but I don't think that's a good idea except for perhaps a few languages with a large user base. Moderators need to be able to read chat messages.
