I noticed a lot of FOSS bug reports/emails for my projects are coming from foreigners lately, and I spent a lot of time thinking about how to help. Translation seemed insurmountable. I considered a lot of options.
My conclusion was to always strive for brevity and clarity. Say it all, say no more, be clear, and be concise. I now consider a foreign audience that may take significantly longer to understand what I write, they may use translation tools, they may be confused by any "flowery language".
