My colleague Christophe has started a new moderated Hi5 Group named the hi5 Language Forum.  He describes it as:

hi5 Language Group is a discussion forum for people who have suggestions or want to talk about hi5 internationalization, localization, translation and language issues. Please join and invite others in a lively discussion. hi5 staff regularly participate in the discussion to answer your questions and listen to product suggestions.

We'll do our best to answer all questions but English, French, Russian, and Spanish are preferred. Thanks.

So far we've had interest in user supported Albanian and Greek translations along with fixes to some of the existing languages.
