Yes.

I agree.  In fact, seeing pondings in other languages could be a
nice touch and a reminder that lilypond is used internationally.

If you really want a particular piece of news to appear in
multiple languages, then just send in multiple translations to be
included in the normal tweets.xml file.  Then they'll appear
randomly just as any other ponding.  I'd therefore suggest that
all pieces of news appear in English plus any other applicable
languages.

Mike, could you push a new ponding about your thing in French?
Also, could you make the font size slightly smaller?  at the
moment it's bigger than our "what is lilypond" text.  I'd say it
should be one or two "notches" smaller.  (interpret "notch" as
whatever makes sense for web fonts)
