I don't know if that's entirely true. I mean, it's nice if volunteers
can translate everything. But it's certainly conceivable that the
Foundation might want to issue press releases or statements or
something in these N languages regardless of volunteer support, even
if that means paying for an occasional translation.

The answer to this question would conceivably be very useful, I don't
see any reason to discourage people from finding it.
