tenisghs, foreign languages aren't just important "to look up archived materials that pre-date the computer revolution." Even today, a lot of research and writing are done in other languages and do not get translated into English. Try flipping through some international scholarly journals and you'll see all sorts of languages being used there. How are you supposed to join the debate if you can't understand everything that's being said?
