i don't want to mislead you (and i definitely don't speak for the site owners); i think the translation option is very far in the distance. the door isn't completely closed, but frankly, i find it more likely that somebody not-dreamwidth in another country will take up the code and build their own. it is a huge effort, not just to create a good translation, but also to maintain it on a day-to-day basis. and LJ's translation into other languages, frankly, leaves much to be desired; it's an illusion that it is LJ fully translated. maybe the russian is close by now. but i've played with the code on my own server in the languages i know, and it wasn't anywhere complete.

ah, that's what you meant about "post-by-email" -- yes, possibly so. i haven't thought about it much. i've never even used it outside of testing. i just know that apparently lots of people like it.

icons, *heh*. i had an LJ for more than a year and only used 1 icon. when i got a paid account, it was to support the site; i didn't use more than 6 icons. now i have nearly 50 that i made myself -- and i still don't use them often, only when i really want to underline a specific point, or express my association with a specific group. generally i like the single "avatar" association. but i know i am in a minority. and the site needs to serve all of us, and deliver for a wide variety of tastes.
