Currently we see 17 candidates. All submitted approx. 1200 character length statement.
Now 18, + Frieda. And she proves that a very late candidacy does not have to be a problem to be able to get the edormensments.
Today, the last day of the candidate accpetance, almost complete sets of candidate statements are available in some languages already. That is, Czech, French, German, Spanish, Dutch and Norwegian. Proofread of those language versions will be welcome.

All the work that is done to those translations is nice. But I am unsure of the are read.
This mainly because you need to select manually the language version and somehow I have the feeling that nearly all users who go to meta also understand more or less English.
I think more use of those translation can be done and exposure to the target language community.
I suggest to send after the closing of the endorsements the translations as an email to the different language mailing lists.
Because of the many statements it must be done in several editions otherwise the become to long.
This could be done as a communication under the flag of the Election Committee.
