So, sending mail in HTML is OK by your standards? Eller att skriva p�
ett underligt spr�k med underliga tecken? ;)

Well, my point is, I think new content should be in English, and
translations should be made afterwards. So what if the original
creator of the page wasn't fluent in English? It's a Wiki, there are
always people ready to go in and clean up the mistakes. I don't think
there are many more people ready to the translation though.

I know I'd be pretty aggrievated if I had a problem and saw that the
keywords I was looking for was right in the middle of a text I
couldn't understand. :)

OTOH, who decided English was the language of choice in the first
place? IIRC, both Mandarin and Spanish is spoken by a lot more
people... Not that I speak any of them. :)
