Let me give you an example where this isn't true. I'm in the United States and I do contract work for a company in Germany. At the German company, they have an internal bug tracker for their intranet applications. Usually the bug descriptions are written in German, except mine, which are in English. So they will submit bugs in both German and in English, depending on who is taking care of the issue.
How do you envision the UA will determine which language the user is writing in? And what happens when the user submits both German AND English, for two audiences?
