Important consideration indeed.

Would be great to translate hg into other languages - or better yet, have an
option for an interface that is purely image-based and uses no words. How
does PFAF do it? Is it only in English?

For the most part a vast task. THe DB probably maps to a
7000 page book. We have had a few translations of
some of our other articles (not the db) submitted by various people.
These are linked to the english version of the article.

What we can do is make the interface language independant
rather than handcoding all the mesages in the code we can
retreive the messages from a file. And have different files
for different languages. This sort of thing is faily standard practice in internationalise applications.
