On the long run, I think, these portals and their texts should
be translatable. Browser settings determining the target language.
Looking forward to have them on translatewiki.net !

Adding English-only text to the Wikipedia portal is unacceptable. Special powers on a Wikimedia domain must not be used to contradict and impoverish the Wikimedia mission. The portal seize by a small WMF clique has shown its failure and should immediately be reversed, as the Meta-Wiki administrators have proven to be more competent.
