The internationalisation of a web site like this is a massive job, and it means you must take a rather more formal approach to everything you do. I have been involved in a project before where we did this, and it required lots of tools and some full time translators. (For example, I would be unable to answer feedback)

It is way beyond what is practical for a non-commercial site like this. Sorry about that.

Try this for a French version. Goolge will translate into many languages as you browse. Very cool.

I can imagine...
But why not just translate the playing area?
All news, the forum, ... stays English.
Just the things that are "fix" are availible in different languages.
