Thanks :)
The text must be translated prior to the spam. The translation will be
done by people knowing each language. Thus, I'd favour each translator
posting the notice at the local VP after translating instead of a bot.
The translators will likely be on those communities and, anyway, people
is always preferred to bots. (Note that 1 wikipedia = 1 tranlation ~ 1
translator).
For languages not translated after X days (a week?), then a bot can be
run with a default language.
Did you look at the notification I posted? There's a spot there for the
translation. In my opinion, I think it's better to just get it out there
and *then* have it translated by a local community member. That way we
still have the original in English as well.
