I think the minimum to avoid being too jarring is to just have the 
screenshots taken of Fedora running in the default language, but to have 
the description of the screenshots in the user's language. Might be able 
to get away with an auto-translation through something like babelfish or 
translate.google (or offer a prominent redirect to the page viewed on 
those sites.)

I don't want to kill a good idea with too much complexity / overheard, 
just more trying to point out linking directly from a translated website 
to an untranslated one can be a jarring experience and we should account 
for that in some way (doesn't have to be the ideal, what-we'd-all-like 
way, just something that shows some consideration)
