More food for thought: we've added Etherpad lite to our supported 
projects and our community uses/loves that software. Result: in less 
than a week they have about five times the supported languages tehy had 
before. <https://translatewiki.net/wiki/Translating:Etherpad_lite>
Let me quote their developer Marcel: «twn is great – at the beginning I 
wouldn't even have thought that my pull request with i18n support would 
be accepted; then we found someone who'd translate it to french (we 
already had german at that time...); then someone whipped up a spanish 
translation; and only today we joined twn to be welcomed with support 
for, what?, 4 new languages? Amazing!».
