Actually all of the Beginners Guides are translated in the 5 UN
languages. It's actually the main point of the Beginners Guides, that
they are translated.

I fully support this. The problem, in my opinion, is not the language.
It's the medium that the message is delivered on. In a world where young
people have stopped reading anything else than instant messages, we need
to reduce written content to short paragraphs and add audio visual content.
