Absolutely!  And if you have contacts with other people who could be used as
translators for other languages besides German and Japanese, it would be
great.  I'm going to contact Wim to see if he could keep his eye out for any
Dutch materials, but I know there is a French magazine, and I suspect there
are eastern European magazines that are worthy as well.  I also have a
contact (besides Claus!) who is involved with the Danish aquatic plant
magazine, and I'm pretty sure he'll help, as he has requested the use of
several of my own articles in the past.  I also have a Chinese friend who
gets some of the Chinese aquarium magazines.  I'll ask him if he can
translate, or knows someone else who could, if he sees any articles that
might be suitable for TAG.

I agree completely.
