Ah! I see, yes, that makes sense. So let's keep it in this way.

That's a good point. Do you think this should or could be explicit or
should we just encourage people to add bilingual information to existing
fields where relevant? For instance:

I'm slightly in favor of this, as I would not expect more languages than
one version in English and one in the native tongue for the group.
Well, aside from complicated regions where you may have
