Maybe we can make up lists of people who can be contacted in case Google
Translate is not enough to understand a message, or if one wants to post
something but doesn't know English. For example, I might be a contact for
Russian language. While I don't contribute in a really meaningful way, at
least I monitor all activity on this list, and [hopefully] know English
enough to understand others and be understood.
By the way, where are LoCos in all this? They are supposed to handle
language and cultural barriers, aren't they?

Respectfully,
