One important thing you can implement is a good way to handle your translations (easy export/import feature), as a developer you don't translate the text, you let some professional to do that when it's decided which languages to support, say for an US site it would be natural to have support for English, French and Spanish as you then cover all the major languages in North-America. You could make a test, set up three sites which all are the same, one with auto translation, one with community translation and the last with professional translators, see which one will be most popular. PS. As you don't use a proper client, delete message footers and adjust line length according standard manually. -- //Aho
