I DID THE UPDATE to the applications.
They're LIVE LIVE LIVE
you can view them when you go to make a new account
please don't use this as an opportunity to make new accounts.
or do, whatevs.
but ANSWER THE DAMN PROMPS OR I'LL DENY YOUR FUNNY COOL USERNAMES
edit: I'll leave this up for the rest of the day to let everyone know its done. I'll probably leave this unlocked so if anyone else wants to drop by and improve a translation or add a new one they can pop by and drop it in instead of making a whole new post or DMing me. not that's gonna stop anyone from doing exactly that lmao either one's fine.

Hi folks, its me. 
I'm stealing the top of the website for a few days because a thought occurred to me a while back that goes along the lines of "damn, we really haven't updated the application for a hot minute haven't we?" also "damn we're getting quite a few international folks in but they might not know what the lingo and abbreviations in the application really mean"
which leads me to this post: 
A general poll on what languages hexbear users know... (read: I'm too lazy to figure out how to do an actual poll thingy so I'll just tally up everyones comments. Also don't be a smartass and say "English lol" 
)
And, arguably more exciting, a general request to our multilingual users to help translate the application into their language in order to help other possible new folks to know what we're all about. (Also a general discussion on whether or not this is a good idea. I got a thumbs up from the others in the cabal of evil admins but I'm playing fast and loose with this because I had just drank a bunch of coffee when I wrote this up and I was vibrating like a hairless chihuahua walking through a park in fall. 
)
To remind people what the application looks like, it's the following three sentences.
How did you find out about Hexbear, and why do you want to join?
Why did you choose your username?
What are your views on Gender and Sexual Minorities [GSM] / LGBTQ rights, racial justice, animal liberation, and similar movements?
So to summarize, Im bored, im curious what languages everyone speaks, and I'm looking for volunteers to translate the application into their native tongue so future applicants can have an easier time understanding what the site's about. The translated versions will be contained in spoilers so as to ensure the whole application page doesn't look densely bloated like me after eating oatmeal

I translated it to spanish
, if any other nerds wants to change it a bit so its more neutral spanish feel free
This is pretty good.
I think we can use "encontrar" instead of "descubrir" and drop the "sobre" for the first one: "¿Cómo encontraste Hexbear?"
I also think we can convert the second part into a command form: "Explica su nombre de usuario"
And the third one we can use the verb form of opinión and simplify some parts: "¿Qué opinas de los siguientes temas: los derechos de gente queer/trans, La justicia anti-racista, la liberación animal y otros movimientos políticos similares?
Also we should decide on el tuteo (formal speech vs informal) I'm leaning towards formal speech since it's an application but if you know what's the standard then go with what you know.
I find usted to be alienating, but I know many folks in latam find tuteo to be too personal.
That's why as synthesis we should use "vos" and the colloquial "descubristes" to weed out any RAE-loving worms.
That would be cool too. Any anti RAE action is supported by me.
Formality is one of those untranslatable things. I think we can settle on usted just to be safe and formalities can be dropped after the user is accepted.
Sounds good to me
