He means adding a translator option for worldwide use of this site specifically.

When a user signs up to be a community member they would be given the option of which language they want to read the site in.

well that too. but what i was thinking about would be having a group of members who would do translation of peoples posts if they needed it. for example, say some non-english speaking member wants to post a question in General Questions but doesn't feel comfortable posting in english. they can find a link somewhere on the site that would give them a list of translators that they could PM any message to and get a translated copy back. translaters like AltaVista's Babel-fish really suck when any slang or colloquial phrases are used - and based upon the content of this site, i think there is a lot of slang and colloquial phrases used. really this wouldn't involve a whole lot of work (unless it turns out that there are a ton of people who want to post but don't feel comfortable with english) - it would just require keeping an updated list of shroomerites who would be willing to do translations, and a link somewhere with this list.

but as well, translating more of the site's content to other languages is a good plan as well. (and on that note, the PF Tek for Simple Minds Danish version is coming, Anno... i did about half of it today, i'll try to finish the rest tomorrow )
