IMO the language switcher for sample programs is not a pre-condition or 
blocker for translating programs, but more like a nice-to-have feature, 
but like I said before we'll know better after getting feedback from 
users when they actually try out the translated version.

Thanks a lot for the suggestion and references.

Though I'm still not clear about the criteria to start the official 
team, I'll let you know the progress of translation, and see when it's 
good time to sign up.

I appreciate all the feedback and open discussion.

Best regards,
Xuan.
