Thanks a lot Marta for offering to write a blog post about the community site!
I'm not sure if multi-language support for the site is a good idea. I see the packages site as something similar to GitHub or Jira. The page itself contains very view things we could actually translate. The package owners usually are only able to provide one or two languages for their package description. For the comments, we don't want disjoint discussions to happen. I've also kicked off a discussion with Apache legal on the initiative [1]. We might not be able to host this at Apache, but let's see where the discussion goes.
