Viva Multilingual Planet Fedora!
Think of posts in any language, English or otherwise, as encrypted texts. Unfortunately, you may not know the encryption scheme being used. Fortunately, natural languages, for the most part, conform to open standards. There are published dictionaries and lexicons, as well as gifted codebreakers who can process them in real time.
Some talented people can encrypt and decrypt messages using several algorithms. We describe these people as multilingual.
And there's always Google Translator to help encode and decode many languages.
Seriously, this is the kind of diversity that makes open source projects so interesting and fun.
