Do we accept Portuguese events for the home page?

All,

We've just had a bunch of training events submitted in Portuguese. 
These are legitimate training sessions, but what's our policy on 
accepting events in non-English languages?

I'd prefer a quick intro in english (a single sentence is fine). Other  
than that, I'm all for it.

Not sure I understand the point in that. I /would/ like to have a policy that
only someone familiar with the language in question do the approving
(or sign off on it here), so we know exactly what we are approving. Other
than that, the language should not be a factor: approve by default if
Postgres-related and meets the normal guidelines.

The consensus was that we accept events in any language where we have 
someone who can check the content.
