I think this may be worth a discussion here. I am totally in favor of being more inclusive by having presentations about Apache in multiple languages.
There have been many presentations to non-English-native-listeners about Apache topics. I am a small bit concerned that translations of presentations might not fully capture the content of the original. Seeing a presentation in English by an English speaker and seeing the translated presentation in e.g. Chinese by a Chinese speaker is possibly not a good way to verify that the message was completely translated. Would it be too much to ask for such presentations to include on each slide both the English and Chinese? I understand that there are challenges with this approach but it would perhaps make it easier to verify that the translation is topic-by-topic. It might also make "the same talk in two recordings" easier to implement.
