Maybe the languages which already have seperate forums could have their own thread in the main forums, similar to the Gentoo forums. It would be more convenient for multilingual users who usually just frequent the English forums. For example, even though I am a francophone, I barely visit the French forum because I don't think about it. :( If there would be a French thread on the main forum, I would certainly read it and contribute to it. > > To properly internationalize the main website, it might be a good idea > to move to a CMS of some sort.
