Ah, I have the opposite feeling -- It makes me happy to see that other
people in the world are discussing things, even when it is in a language
that I don't understand.  And I get a nice sense of 'Ah, the PyCON
Italia (or whoever it is) are up and doing stuff, even though I don't
read Italian.  It gives me a happy sense of how international Python
truly is.
