>What about a simplified language tool, something that will allow to search or filter messages by language? It can be easily (it is always easy when someone else is doing it, right? <g>) done by having a drop down language selection list when creating the message, so the original poster can set the language of the thread. This can be even have a default value in the user's profile, similar as what it is today the computer language/version/database etc.

It is an interesting suggestion. As long as it targets as a universal way of doing things, it is something that is more easy to implement and manage after. I would have to think more about it however. I am not ready to touch the master table of messages for such a field. But, I might find an alternative to handle such a new option.
