==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==
*I want to be able to read emails sent to me in my native language.
*I want to be able to send emails to other mozillians who don't speak my language, knowing that my message will be understood by anyone who reads it.
*I want to be able to participate in Mozilla forum discussions in my native language.
 
==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.
