I think this is a great idea. As one who travels a fair amount I would take
advantage of this resource if it existed. In fact, I will in actually be in
Stockholm in about two weeks and would love to browse the Swedish page
before I get there. Although if it were in Swedish it wouldn't do me much
good since my Swedish is limited to knowing how to ask for a "strong beer".
While I think that the local language decsion should be left to the person
expending the effort, it would be a big help to visitors if the information
were also available in another language and English probably makes the most
sense.
