I think that would be really exciting. However, I wouldn't block on it being formally supported. We already informally have bilingual users mediating between non-English-speaking users and English-speaking developers. In eg a bug you could always add a later comment with a translation. In practice I think most interaction with LOTE users could be through answers at first, as the point of translation. -- Martin <http://launchpad.net/~mbp/> _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-users More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
