hi, i don't want to add this feature to the sagemath website without a warning. with google translate it would be possible to display a translate-bar on top of the page if the browser language (you can set it, probably the one of the operating system) is different from english. it would help people to read it in their language, i could even expand this to work with the documentation pages... points of concern: . translation is maybe very bad, but still better than nothing and will get better in the future. . more users with little english abilities learn about sage, is this good or bad? do we help or harm them? does it make sense to educate them about sage if sage itself is only in english? this is a hen-and-egg problem and draws resources from our total volume of support we can give.
