But one thing that occurs to me that perhaps Franz could help with, is to add to the monthly message from the list server something about this issue. Example for discussion purposes:
"The primary language of Scribus list is English, and in general this is the language which will most easily allow your post to be understood by the entire Scribus team as well as most list members. The best answer for your question/problem is likely to be a composite of several answers from different members. This having been said, if you have difficulty with English, feel free to post in your primary language (plus English if possible), since as a group the Scribus team and users are quite multilingual, and can help with the translation as needed."
