2) Can people be brought on board to localize bugzilla, as well as provide
translation of non-english bugs.
3) Somewhat similiar to 2, explain to users what the english fields mean, and
have them fill it out in their own language, then have someone come by and
translate it for the developers.
While it'd be surely a nice idea to translate the field description, I
don't think it's a good idea to have non-english bug reports. I'm native
German speaker, and whenever I see German compilation errors I'm like
"WTF??". I really can't figure out what it's all about. With english
error messages, it's just clear.
I don't know what it's like in other languages, but at least for German,
it's PITA to translate technical terms, as many of the words simply
don't exist. Most people just mix up German and English, and it works
quite well. Also, I think most people speak at least broken English, or
they just use google translations/babelfish & co. Translating bugs is
just a waste of time to me. And having a localized bugzilla with a fat
note "Please write your bug report in English!" is just ridiculous.
