I'm throwing this idea out there for both mods/admins and everyone else as a potential idea.
The idea is that we gradually add forums for different languages. Each modded by a native speaker who also speaks fluent English.
Pros -- there are a LOT of people who don't visit [notranslate]EN World[/notranslate] because they don't speak English. We'd love to have them here!
Cons -- there would be people on the boards saying things that others can't understand. We do have a limited inbuilt translation capability, though (see the flags at the bottom of the page).
Thoughts? I don't imagine English speakers will care particularly about a bunch of people speaking, say, Chinese; they won't interact. But are there any potential pitfalls you see?
