Preferred language?

So, just curious about this: I just went to edit my profile, and saw this thing.
I looked at the languages, and it only let me select english. Is this ever going to have other languages added, or what?

Language translations aren't as easy as you think. For one, you need someone actually fluent in said languages to do the translation, and just about every text message ever used by the site (error messages, etc.) as well as mainsite postings would also need translation. Additionally, you can't translate user submitted content (comments, journals, etc.) at all.

So the 'Language' option (plus any other dropdown lists with only one setting available) will be removed from the account information to avoid confusion.

It has always been planned to have translations for at least the main navigation links and stuff, but it's a huge amount of work and there has never really been that much demand so it's not very high priority.

It may happen someday, but not in the next few versions.
