Just what exactly is the use of having all those options in multiple languages? It'll only encourage the people NOT to learn English. And if people post in their native language and didn't even bother to run it though one of the many free online translators that litter the web I'd say those posts should be deleted.

Bah on my forum, even English posts which deliberately lack caps and punctuation get deleted, and people that persist posting like that get banned. The other extreme, I know. But hey, English isn't my first language either. How did I learn it? From all those computer games back in the 80's and early 90's. Back in the time we didn't have the luxury of multiple languages. Nowadays the spoiled kids over here don't want games when the manual and game aren't in Dutch. BAH! I started typing English before I even learned to write Dutch at school.
