Then we have (2) other non-english resources thath are neither mirrors, nor translations. So long as mirrors are only English, and non-English resources are not mirrored, having one server list works. The introduction of universally mirrored translations (Japanese) necessitates making a distinction between mirrored non-English things an non-mirrored non-English things. It would be impractical to list English and Japanese versions of every site in the mirror list, never mind if German, Czech, and Portugese become universally mirrored in the future. I advocate mirroring of translations because people travel; I live in the mid-western United States, but among non-English speakers from all over the planet. I have intentions of a home-page link to non-Mirrored, non-English things but there are a couple aesthetic/usability issues to be resolved... -john
