Hi Blau,

Thanks for bringing this up. You have raised an important concern here.
(Though you mention it's not the only major factor preventing you in
this task.) 

Language Barrier seems to be a very common concern. As the maintainer of
Humanity icon theme I have often been contacted directly by a few other
members who have mentioned the English language as a barrier for
participation. I have also noticed the same problem being mentioned in
other mailing lists.

Are there others on this Artwork mailing list who share the same
concern? 
Is there *anything* that we can do to make it easier for everyone to
participate actively?
People are often using Google translate to better understand the task
specs. Are the tasks clear to understand, directly or when you use
Google translate? 

Kindly share your concerns. Do let us know if there is anything that can
be done to help increase your participation.
