there are 25,000 guys playing chess here. they come from all over the world. have you ever thought of translating the site into german, spanish, french, ... I guess many players could help with their mother tounges (I konw someone for german 😉 )
would be great if everyone could choos his/her own language!
this makes the comunity really internationa, open, blabla...

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.

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.
