Have you ever thought about making translations of your articles? The extra space it would take would be negligable, and it might help boost your rank in the countries that don't primarily speak English.

Can the forum auto-translate? If not, do we want people who can't speak english here?

He was talking about the articles, not the forums. And we have several people here who do not speak English as their primary language. They are just as welcome here as the rest of you.

As for your question, Valdronius, I would have to hire people to translate. I know French, but it's been like four years since I've used it and my French vocabulary and knowledge of the finer points of French grammar have deteriorated. If you're suggesting I just post Bablefish translations, well what's the point? People can just use Babelfish themselves.

But if you hosted already translated pieces, wouldn't they come up more often in foreign search engines?
