I'm going to try again with the "other languages" scheme. This time, I think the format makes sense.

Right now you see me
Ahora no me miras
今、見ません

Who am I?

Rough translation (Still a valid haiku, yay!):

Right now you see me
You do not see me right now (Spanish)
Now, you don't see me. (Japanese)

Hint:

It's not a word. Well, it is a word, but it's a set of words. If you know what I mean...

  • $\begingroup$ @fffred rigth, but we use to say: "Ahora no me miras", the other wording just seems weird $\endgroup$

You are

English

Because :

Right now you see me --> this is English so you see English
No miras me ahorda --> you read and see Spanish, not English
今、見ません --> you read and see Japanese, not English

Hint :

"English" is a word but it also represents all the english words

Simply because you're:

You ;)

Right now you see me

See you.

No miras me ahorda

今、見ません

Don't see you and those lines are saying exactly that in both Spanish and Japanese.

Hint

You takes on a number of meanings: the word itself, your username and yourself.

  • $\begingroup$ Nice reasoning about "right" and "me"! However, that is not the answer either. $\endgroup$
