I'm kind of torn on the idea of sites in different languages. I understand why some people might want that for their native language, but I also think that it doesn't exactly mesh with the concept of global connectivity and breaking down those geographical and cultural boundaries. As a whole, it's certainly not beneficial to the platform and how it's supposed to operate. Breaking off large chunks of users into their own separate communities isn't really going to help build the overall user base.

And while I applaud the efforts of laonie and his bot initiative, I'd rather see more users manually curating and interacting with those users who offer great content but are going unnoticed. A few comments are much better than a few votes that are worth pennies, in my opinion.
