Level. Allow German, French and Spanish. You should be able to get mods that speak at least one of those languages. And I'm saying this as someone who speaks none of those. But I think it would be good if English didn't have such a dominance. Might even motivate people to learn one.
Well. The point is, that this approach could be a disfavor for all the eastern European countries, which users may also discuss in their native languages.
Also the server rules state, that they are in for German/English communities.
Adding Italian. Our northern neighbors probably have fewer problems with English than their southern neighbors.
Adding some languages arbitrary without a clear guideline might open up discussions for other languages. For example: if we accept as a guideline that (Mandarin :-), English and Spanish are the most spoken languages in the wolrld and we accept that, we might unsettle French people. If we go with western/southern languages only we might loose the other people who turn for local serivces.
It is no easy debate to have.
