I've had enough of this "talk in english or be flamed" stuff.  We need to
have a system of translation set up.

My idea:

someone sends a message to the list in a non-english language and the
person who is assigned to that language translates it to english and
sends out the translation.  Each language which is represented in this 
list would have a translator and 1+ back-up translators, in case the
main translator was taken away to server51 by the greys with red hats.

There's also the option of creating seperate lists, but that would
split the community a good bit in this arena.

Build on it, fix it, etc.
