Hi, +1 for the idea.
> I am a small bit concerned that translations of presentations might not fully capture the content of the original. Indeed you can never get absolutely the same info from two persons, but I think this concern can be eliminated by the effort of the community cooperation more or less. For example, if someone wants to share experiences of some project to the community in non-English (e.g., Chinese), then there must be some Chinese guys in the project community and some of them know English well. Then, they can discuss how to translate the content before the talk and try to reduce the loss of information.
