Hi Uchoa,
These are good ideas.  We will be treating the first few volumes as a  
bit of an experiment to see how much work is too much or what areas  
we need to focus better on.  Language translation is one that we have  
not planned to touch yet.  At present our draft volume 1 is looking  
quite large (30-50 pages!) so that alone may not be very exciting for  
translators to handle.. but let's see how it goes.

I encourage anyone who would like to help in any way with the journal  
to sign up to our development list and introduce yourself, interests  
and availability:

Thanks for the feedback,
Tyler
