And it makes me realize that there are potentially hundreds, if not thousands, of testers/reporters out there who don't test/report simply because of language barriers. And I've been tossing this around in my head the last couple of weeks: "How do we break down that barrier?" and truthfully... I can't come up with anything solid.
Agree that this is something that needs to be addressed, but I think probably the way to approach this is to first address the broader issue of process and roles, then move into more specific cases like how to work with non-English speaking/writing contributors. This may be a place where the forums can help, since we have non-English forums (and one of our requirements is that the staff in those localised forums be able to communicate with the rest of the staff in English), so that could be a focal point for having those kinds of conversation. But up front, the larger issue of helping people contribute, I think, is the first area to address.
