I would second Wolfgang's suggestion too and add that some kind of close 
relationship be established with the localized forums so that any 
threads that may prove important to a localized group be passed on to 
the main english forum. This would ensure a reporting structure that 
would reflect the needs and wishes of all Mageia users.

Maybe this could be accomplished this way:

-- monthly report of localized thread headlines (translated to English) 
could be posted on the main forum for Mageia infrastructure people to 
read and comment.
