Mailman 2.1 will be fully multi-lingual.  At the moment, Spanish is
the most completely supported language other than English.  Lots of
folks are working on translations over in the mailman-i18n at python.org,
but I haven't received any other catalogs or templates that are ready
to be committed to cvs.

I plan on releasing Mailman 2.1 alpha 2 tomorrow, at which point I'll
begin to seriously stress test it with real list traffic.  2.1a2 will
have a ton of new features, but there are still more to be added,
which is why it'll remain in alpha for a little while longer.

Please contact the folks over at the mailman-i18n sig to help with the
translations.

Cheers,
-Barry
