Web admins

Businesses
- My product is popular in many countries, but I just don't have the resources to offer support in other languages. I want to better server and retain customers who don't speak my language.
Non-english speaking Mozillians

Non-english speaking potential Mozillians
- I want to support Mozilla but my English is not good enough (or I have none) to participate
Mozilla localizers
- I want to translate support pages (or marketing campaigns, or other projects) for my localization of Firefox, but it requires a lot of time to translate. I want to be able to post-edit MT output in order to still provide language coverage without the massive time commitment.
