That sounds interesting.
Biligual people would act as bridges among languages in a natural way
without any effort in translating just participating simultaneously in
several sublists.
Is this feature available in foundation-l?

If we could filter the noise, in each monolingual list and then record the
signal and translate it to the other languages
this could enrich the
conclusions and make all the people feel part of the global project.
But I don’t know how to do this.
Perhaps a single multilingual list could efficiently work as a bunch of
monolingual lists if we used mailman "topics" to label messages by language;
each user could then set in its preferences which languages he wants to
receive (only the languages he understands well, or also some related
languages, or every language because he's willing to use machine translators
or is not annoyed by non-understandable messages). In this manner, you could
avoid fragmenting foundation-l (and other similar lists) but each subset of
users could avoid being overwhelmed by messages in a foreign and not wanted
language.
But I've never seen mailman topics in use and I don't know how and if they
work.
