Like James I usually don't read non-English posts (with no English
translation included), though less because of concerns about the
accuracy of machine translation and more because my time is rather
limited. Judging whether a mail is "interesting" in any way is too hard
when it's written in a language I don't understand and translating it
first takes too much time.

For translation between English and Spanish there's also the Open Source
software apertium [1], but the dictionary seems to be rather
limited. IIRC the automatic translation between #sugar and #sugar-es
(IRC) is based on this, so any improvement to the English↔Spanish
apertium dictionary would directly benefit #sugar-es users.
