How do you see that mixing happening, though?

I subscribe to all the lists, and I can sometimes follow what's going
on in the Japanese lists from the subject lines and the code
fragments. When a message looks interesting, I can use Netscape to
translate it to English, and sort-of find out what's being said.

However, I don't want to post English-language messages to these
lists: I feel that that would be rude.

This frustrates me. I see all kinds of interesting discussions taking
place (like the Windows installer one) that I'd like to be able to
read and participate in. But I don't want to butt in in English, nor
do I want the Japanese contributors to feel like they need to write in 
English.

How can we bridge that gap?
