The discussion about other languages sometimes seems a bit bizarre.
English is (and remains) the lingua franca of academic work. Spanish
might achieve a similar position over time but for now, it is English. I
admit that we might miss important work and exclude some persons by
having English as a working language but the costs of including more
languages are too big, in my opinion.

And what is the problem. I am a Scandinavian and we always have to do a
lot of things in two languages: English and our own. We survive,
although the native English speakers have a privileged position, not at
least in face to face academic discussions, which they should appreciate
:-)
