On the main shapado site, there is a drop down menu at the top of the screen 
where it's possible to select the language of questions to show.
UI stays in english all the time.

Using table prefixes needs *very* ugly changes to the code, so this is the case 
why i didn't consider them.
(Inserting a prefix configuration option, changing the model layer to use the 
prefix, iterating over all possible languages to maintain the database)

As table prefixes require ugly (and deeeeep changes) to the askbot code, 
multiple instances require multiple databases.
And application preferences in mod_wsgi are generally based on vhosts (you 
could also have a single vhost and route subdirs to different settings, same 
amount of work).
So I don't consider these straw man arguments, however I didn't explain in 
detail why these arguments are valid.

Cu,
Alex
