[IMC-US-tech] Another site suggestion; une autre suggestion; otra idea

[SuZQ]

Y-a t-ill des gens qui font partie de ces listes, qui parlent
des langues autre que l'anglais comme langue maternelle?

Hay gente que participan en estes listas quien hablan otros lenguas que el
ingles?

Another practical suggestion to the site is that there be translation
pages and alternative-posting pages for the other languages commonly
spoken in the US: Spanish (28 million native spanish speakers in the US)
and French (the language spoken in 1.6 million American homes).  (see
http://aolcom.factmonster.com/ipka/A0762163.html)  Indymedia global has
set up a lovely translation tool page; we could use their code.  You can
find a draft version of it at
http://dispatch.indymedia.it/welcome.php3?lang=en

Peace,
Susanna
