I think the language of electronics is universal. Even if the English is not perfect, the technical words can usually be put together in a way that makes sense to most people.
One thing I really wish for though, is for users to edit their profiles so we know where they are from. It doesn't need to be more specific than the country name. I use many forum systems and often when someone has language difficulty, there will be someone sharing their native language who can help to translate.
Knowing the country also helps to understand the time zone differences. I have received complaints because I take too long to reply to messages that arrive here in the middle of the night when I'm asleep. If we have an idea of how far ahead/behind local clock time the other participants are it is easier to understand the delays.
ITGirl started this topic but we don't know if their native language is Swahili, Dutch, Chinese or Zulu. It would be useful to know.
