It's certainly a reasonable idea, but getting enough follow-through with volunteer efforts becomes a bit of a challenge.
In the past, volunteers have been recruited to translate FAH"s web pages into their native language. Those volunteers seem to have abandoned their projects.

If you google "folding@home germany" there are many outdated website parts from folding@home/german
https://www.google.de/search?q=folding% ... e&ie=UTF-8
In my opinion it is more easy and up to date to just use google translate on the english folding@home pages
The folding world map also shows were rich countries are and were are the poorly settled regions.
There will not be many new folders in Africa or East Russia even when the website will be in their languages.

For us technophiles that's ok, but to tap into the unused capacity of home user not maybe even knowing Google Translate an actual tranlated version makes them feel more welcomed.

It's hard to find people to keep the English versions up to date, not to mention translated versions.
