Rebreather World forum in your own language?

I am not going to win any popularity contest with this, but here goes anyway...

I believe the majority of the Rebreather World posts come from either Americans, Brits or Aussies who are notoriously bad as far as knowing any foreign language fluently.

And yes, I am stereo-typing here

If posts are made in non-English will not get a lot of replies / contributions from aforementioned group of nationalities.

Therefore, what is the benefit of able to read low-content threads in your own language ?
