But what about the rest of us who read the question and looked forward to the 
answer?

That's the normal way how most people learn stuff from lists like this: They 
learn from answers given to other people.

If the answer hade not been translated, someone not knowing French would have 
asked it again (because he could not find the answer inte the archives).

I think it is totally fine to be able ask a question in any language, but I 
think it is important that the answer reach as many people as possible (not 
only those fluent in the language the question was asked).
