Thanks for the ideas!  Can we call your Proposal +MT-quiet ?

I like the idea, especially in terms of making the visual displays
more sane (less data is better!).  

But I worry that it puts yet another task on the Scribe.  If these
translations aren't presented on the Board, how will regular
(non-Scribe) Participants get a translation?  Will they need to
petition the Scribe for it?  How will this affect the dynamics within
the Group?

Are there ways that we might widen this potential bottleneck?
