Ditto!!!

My comment was - no one pointed me to a "working" support site that
mixes questions / answers from multiple languages together - thought I
was clear on that. I don't care if it is OSQA, AskBot or any other
package.

My question was - do you know of one? Again I thought I was clear, that
you seemed to say that you did not.

laughing - and I couldn't do without it...but it won't help if there is
multiple languages on the same page.

right - but it isn't going to be there, so that's moot.

I suppose I'd do the opposite.
