I think it would be pointless to reach a scenario where people are encouraged to submit the same screenshot for all different languages. That would be a PITA to maintain and unnecessary in most cases. Still, for different alphabets there might be an added value. AFAICT it is possible that an application looks sensibly different when using a left-to-right vs a right-to-left language. Maybe the right solution is support some kind of language tagging to be associated to each screenshot. Still, IMO we should refrain to encourage arbitrary screenshot "translations".
