Not really. While non-English posts are welcome, they are
understandably rare and responses to them even rarer. The large
non-English projects are large enough to get by on their own, and it's
easier to do so than to discuss the matters here in English. The
English projects could get by on their own if they had to, but it's
easy to come here for clarification on certain issues, so why not do
so? Smaller projects sometimes can't get by on their own, and have no
choice but to come here.

It makes perfect sense that foundation-l is dominated by English
projects with most of the rest being from small projects (in addition
to the stuff concerning all projects, of course).
