The Malaysian government has declared that science instruction will be conducted in Bahasa rather than English. Parents, teachers and professors are very unhappy because "English is the language of science."
This sort of thing affects the quality of our projects in languages other than English.
I'm not sure what to suggest, but it struck me as relevant to language issues we face.
