The lose of registration/login/reset makes it harder to complete the
user experience we want for Answers. We want to allow a non-technical
user to come to accomplish a few tasks in their native language:

      * Search for an answer
      * Ask a question
      * Answer a question

These last two points require a logged in user. It when Lp managed
identity to allow users to register/login/reset in their own language.

The profile page and links to answers need to be translated too.

There is no solution/infrastructure for translating email templates.
