I would gladly offer my help on a french list, but it looks like there
aren't many french-speaking people who can't write in english.  And I'd
do my best on for a spanish list.

However, as Julian said, the traffic probably wouldn't be worth the
trouble of having a second mailing list.  A suggestion would be to have
people who understand the language try to translate into english, so
that it can reach the bulk of users.

Is it a good idea?
