    I think it would make the forum too disjointed if members were posting in different languages.

    Also, there would be no way to moderate it *if* things blew up in one of these sub-forums.

    However, I can make the site more international friendly, if there is interest.

    For example:

    - A translator (Google translator) that could translate a page into your native language (for reading, not posting).
    - Small country flags displayed near member's names if they choose to fill out that option in their profiles (after being added).
    - Translating the website guidelines into different languages and adding a welcome blurb in different languages to the Welcome section.

    Or any other ideas...
