Hooded cobra, thanks for letting me know. I was waiting for the retrograde to end before I made this topic, it's good to hear that you have thought about the same matter.

I think a topic with this purpose would be enough to start with, then if people from other countries really start taking a step forward and seriously engaging in translating JoS content to their own respective languages, a sub-forum for this could be opened. I mean, the idea is good, but I think it's only worth it if enough people really place their interest in it.
In my opinion a sub-forum would be superior to a sticky thread for the projects since in the sub-forum visitors would instantly see what projects have already been started and by whom. The translation topics also wouldn't take space from the main forum like in the old forum where my one-man-translation-project was a sticky. The new sub-forum would also lower people's threshold for starting new projects. By lowering the threshold I mean that we could encourage people to create a foundation for translating JoS into their languages. I started originally to translate after seeing the Hindi translations done by one man.
I don't think it's going to be a very demanding task to start a new sub-forum. If the sub-forum isn't very active to begin with it could still be of use for the future...
