are you going to get international?
I stumbled over this just a few minutes ago and i think the concept is absolutely great. Will you be localizing it sometime soon, i.e. offer this wonderful service in let's say, german or french, too?
I’m excited

Thanks! Well I don't have a date for internationalizing the whole site, BUT with the forthcoming API release we're making it easy for others to put together non-English versions of the interface (as well as hack the interface up in many ways that we can't predict). Let us know if you have specific requests.
I’m a very poor French speaker

Inappropriate?Well, thank you. We are not quite at the localization stage. You can read more about it here: http://getsatisfaction.com/satisfacti....
I’m hoping this helps

Inappropriate?hey, thanks for the quick response and sorry 'bout my missing the other thread about multi-linguality. The API hint looks intriguing, hope i dont miss it when it hits. What feed best to follow? :-) Cheers!
I’m ambivalent. Would love to help but am afraid that real life won't allot me the time

Inappropriate?You can always subscribe to our blog: http://blog.getsatisfaction.com/. We'll definitely be announcing it.
I’m promoting (can't help it)

Inappropriate?very well :-) Thanks
I’m at ease with promoting. Guess that's coz i used to be a promoter.

Inappropriate?I was thinking about the same thing, but a localized version in Spanish (my site, amiggo.com is in English and Spanish). I can help you guys with the whole process if you need to... -
Inappropriate?Thanks for the offer! If we get going down that road soon, we might just take you up on it.

Inappropriate?I'd be really keen to see a British English option when viewing the site, all because of one tiny word.
In British English we refer to a company in the plural. Instead of saying e.g. "Twitter is here!" we'd say "Twitter are here!". If that sounds really wrong to your ears, that's how wrong the US English version sounds to me.
The fact that nearly every page has what my brain is telling me is a US English 'error', puts me in the mindset that this is a service for other people to use, not for me. i.e. I feel like an outsider. It's really weird - I admit.
I’m happy

oh, that's a fine point. we have something coming out in the next week that should help with this problem a bit -- not a final fix, nor full internationalization, but it will at least begin to address the issue. -
+1 on an i18n'ed GS!
You could provide a localized version based on primarily the browser's preferred language (HTTP content negotiation; Accept-Language) and secondarily on the user's IP-address (i.e, using MaxMind's GeoIP service)
I could provide Swedish translation if you put up screenshots from some common enduser pages if those strings where marked with numbers (or similarly)
