Why ? these are extra-internal documents not subject to Berlin state review right? So they can be in Sanskrit if we choose to.

You cannot ask our membership to vote to approve a text they cannot read. the community bylaw that will be vote upon _have_ to be the english one. that is the only version that is voted-upon and agreed to by the membership, hence it _is_ the binding version.
I told you how the legal system works. You can either believe it or not. However, it makes sense you trust the local guy, which is me. ;-)
Nobody said running an international entity is an easy task, but I think we're doing good. As long as we have proper translations, everything is allright.
