I agree, In Europe we usally skip to English when we have cross border
treads on Lugnet. It is, certainly for the post war generation, the most
universal langue that people know here. I've noticed that some german AFOL's
monitor the news on Lugnet and crosspost to their own forum when they think
it's relevant for them.

I think it would be most welcome. Traffic on Lugnet.loc.eu is often low, so
not many people go there as well after they took a visit to their own
national page.
