I'm not 100% on the details quite yet, but here's how I see it now:
PROS
-More homemade tools.
-Different language = different culture = different market = different supplies = different tools. I like seeing the tool building solutions from various countries. It's like homemade tool tourism.
-Other websites have multiple language subforums. This isn't exactly new territory. Portugese or French would likely follow Spanish.
