Is it possible to add a "Simple/Basic English" [1]  translation as an
experiment ?

So expecting:
-  basic english words ( <=1000 basic words)
-  basic grammar , no short forms  ( so 'you're' --> 'you are' )
-  basic OSM knowledge ( no special words like: SotM )
   - "State of the Map conference"  --> "OpenStreetMap conference"

probably too late for this survey ... maybe in the future.

IMHO:   We need to invent a *polite MapSpeak *language ( ~ OpenStreetMap
Community Mappers Communication Phrases )
    (  ~ "designed to facilitate *non-violent communication *between
mappers" ) like a Seaspeak [2]

thanks
