Okay.. Here's how I look at it. Right now, seems like people are
positive into including a localised version of the Mag as well as an
international version. In light of the future BM(or Chinese) articles
which I will receive, it would be best that we have 2 versions of each
article, 1 in BM and another in English. (where If original article was
written in BM, then there _should_ be a corresponding article translated
in English)

In Terms of how to bundle it together such that ppl who choose to print
it, I will separate the BM and English articles.
