Actually ive been thinking of setting up a page where you can generate
native-language complaint messages by selecting a language, and then
filling in the blanks with pulldowns, eg:
"Language: [Russian|Chinese|Korean|Japanese|Spanish|...]
To whom it may concern:
We [are receiving|were exploited] by [ddos|portmap|named|...] attacks from
[ip address|netblock] on [month] [day] [year] at [time]. Our timezone
offset is [UTC-xxxx]. Please take corrective action and notify me of the
results. If you do not speak [English|German|French|...] you can use the
webpage http://... to compose your reply. Attached are logs detailing
the attacks.
Thank you for your prompt attention to this matter."
This would of course require the assistance of native speakers. I should
be able to get russian, chinese, japanese, french, german covered.
My russian friend tells me that anyone operating a russian network should
have at least a basic understanding of english. Even when I sent them
complaints in russian, they responded in good english.
