I suggest people in the NG have the D site's front page autotranslated
into their language. I just say no to Russian translation. Some
extracts translated back into English:

"Michael the Great is the only thing I need."
"Segfualt D is the language of systems."  (I like this one:))
Portablility turns into mobility, of course...
"metaprogramming styles" - "styles of the zodiac"...

How about other languages?
