       The fact that multilingual documents are rare can't be taken to
       imply that nobody wants to create them. Rareness may be due
       more to the difficulty in creating them, as others in this
       thread have suggested. It's certainly an important issue for
       our organisation. "If you build it, they will come."

       Yes, there are many multilingual people. Multilingual documents
       are rare. I.e. more than one language in a single document.
