Also, I think that most feed readers have multi language support.
Get the main Fedora planet feed and filter it through google
reader or something or a better feed reader and ask it to filter
by language.<br>

Luke,
Thanks for your post. I'm replying with my scant knowledge and
opinion; this email address goes to a team of folks, most of whom have
way more knowledge than me, as well as more worthy opinions, so read
my reply as just some thoughts on the situation.

The Fedora planet is self-service, in that contributors add
themselves to the one planet.
It seems to me that we would have to go back to each person to
identify a separate, language-specific planet in their
configuration. Otherwise, we'd have to write some automagic in the
planet application to detect languages?
So, we could create an "English only" planet/feed and ask that people
add themselves to that, as well. It would grow slowly over time. Some
people who write in multiple languages in a single post could use for
their English containing posts. But it looks to be a lot of work to do
a split manually without contributor intervention.

Just as a point of difference, I enjoy the multiple languages and
seeing what others are up to even if I can't read the post. Often I
can get a gist of what the subject is about, from personal photography
to an app review. Sometimes I see a post that looks interesting enough
to get auto-translated for further reading.
>From previous discussions of this topic, there are people who are
put-off by the multiple languages, and there are those who are
not. Short of adding automagic language filtering in planet itself, I
don't see a way to make both groups happy. We're already pretty far
down the pathway we have now, so we have to ponder if it's worth the
non-trivial effort?
