[lac-discuss-en] in the translations

[Jacqueline Morris]

Yes, and that is why I support the ICANN staff's idea to look for a better
tool, Google translate or whatever. But I need the translation, as do
others, and so I will not support losing it.
No way should this become a no translation list, where I cannot read 60% of
the emails and others cannot read the other %.
