I'd encourage any participant who has difficulty expressing

a translation, and with the availability of machine translation
sites on the web.
Absolutely.
Yes, and for those of us who understand French and German better than
English it is a great help sometimes to get it in an other language...
... especially since the website is now translated in French and Dutch.
I see no reason to actively discourage emails in other languages. It
hasn't
been a problem so far -- if it becomes a problem, we can start asking
people to post in English. But I think that everybody knows that
lilypond-user is primarily an English mailing list, so if somebody posts
in another language, it's almost certainly because they don't feel that
they can communicate in English.
