As long as people making press releases are conscious of spelling 
and grammer... Nothing gets on my nerves more than reading a press
release with bad spelling and grammar... I don't claim to be perfect
but I generally get others to read my press releases before I send
them... 

It would be better to have a list of email addresses and urls to send
press releases in each of the major languages, and then have a team of
folks who can be called upon to translate press releases to other 
languages and take care of posting them to their regional media and
press...
