Is there an equivalent of (Ask)MetaFilter in other languages?

Is there an equivalent of (Ask)MetaFilter in other languages?

I'd like to know if there's a similar community blog / question answering service / weird mix of projects and chat e.g. in German (since that's my other language).

I'm assuming it would be mainly the preserve of native speakers. Or are you guys all Dutch or something? ;)

Native German speaker here. http://www.gutefrage.net/ is the only German-language equivalent to AskMefi I know of. I wouldn't recommend it, though (quality-wise, it's comparable to Yahoo Answers).

China's Baidu has a popular Q&A website called Baidu Knows, which Wikipedia describes as "a query-based searchable community to share knowledge and experience." I browsed the site using Google Translate after the whole China vs. Google thing flared up, curious about the leading competitor there, and the quality seemed pretty decent.

Here's Google's translation of the front page -- clicking links should take you to the translation of that page and so on.

I once bookmarked dirty.ru when it was posted as an answer to a previous question. Back then I expected to learn some Russian, but didn't go according to plan. Not sure if it's still the same idea. Submitted for your approval.
