I think the word that we have heard over and over, from users, is that 
the localized groups would rather have their own forums setup. Wolfgang 
suggested that there would be a link, presumably in the forums section, 
that would re-direct people to their localized forums.

In a perfect setup, the Mageia forums would have a localized section on 
their own main forum board and manage the localized sections themselves. 
But it doesn't sound like people want this. It sounds like people would 
rather go to a localization.mageia.org (or mageia.org/localization) site 
where all services are rendered in their language. It may, in fact, be 
easier to manage things this way. The mageia.org main site would 
essentially be the hub (in English) where the flow of localized 
(language) were coordinated through localized.mageia.org sites

Or am I hearing things wrong?
