Perhaps when a message is posted in a language other than English,  
people who can read that language could send a [rough] translation to  
the list as well.  That way, people could ask questions even if they  
do not speak English (though getting replies would be another matter,  
I guess).  If I see a message in French and no one has sent along a  
translation, I may do this to make sure the question reaches the  
broadest possible audience.

Any other thoughts about this?
