This year we considerably expanded our multi-lingual effort by adding 6
translated 'summary' reports in Arabic, Japanese, French, German,

How were those languages chosen? I can't see any
How were those languages chosen? I can't see any (clear) criterion being
used. I've already asked the same question for the Wikimedia

Thanks for bringing up translation. I intended to bring this up in a
separate note.
