I do not know if it will be possible or useful to cater for all languages even though this would be the best case scenario. At some point we have to rely on what the translators do. The English should make sure that the wording is ok for them and describes the situation best as Jorm already wrote. E. g. to directly translate “thread” into German, though there is a matching word for it, would lead to disaster. Thus “thread” was ignored in favour of a word that describes best what is meant. I think this should be possible in all other languages, too. Just speaking as a foreigner, but Jorm's proposal still sounds good to me.
