Control over email language would be helpful

[andrewcmyers]

The language used when sending email invitations is determined by the supervisor's language, but obviously this doesn't always work well. Supervisors should be given control over the language used, which would default to their own language. Ideally, each voter's language could be selected individually (and set to the supervisor's language by default).

[andrewcmyers]

One reasonable way to control this choice would be to expand the syntax for specifying email addresses to optionally include a language specification. Omitting the language specification would mean to use the supervisor's (current) language when sending mail. E.g.,

andru@cs.cornell.edu language:en-US
