Well, I think the idea should be to post in two languages, one of them English. Perlmonks could be technically extended to provide within the preview an automatic translation into English (e.g. realized through a google-API). So the poster may improve the translation (AND his English skills ;-)

The filtering options should only fold the original language away, similar to the readmore-tag.

OTOH this can only work for the most widespread languages, (and for Brasilian Portuguese it's already quite complicated to find good books and standardizations...)

So if for instance Germans can provide a good perl-board what is hindering Brazilians or speakers of other "big" languages to do similar?

Hmm, and in most of these cases bablefish would produce a much better text. ;-)

Actually I have more problems to discuss with some native English speakers, which are sooo monolingual (i.e. clueless about other languages), that they don't know how to produce clearly understandable posts (i.e. without slang-words, hidden messages or other unnecessary but good sounding rhetorics).
