it's open source - there are no wages! If someone wants it in their  
language they translate it. They can then decide to gift those  
translations back to the community. I haven't heard of an open source  
project paying for contributions.

It's also the case that the contributor does the maintenance.

Of course, bodington.org identifying a target audience that could  
dramatically increase it's takeup and allocating funds for  
translations to target that market is another matter entirely.

So the question is, will Bod in Thai make a difference to usage  
commensurate with financial outlay?
