        In this sentence, "que" is mandatory. In fact, the subjunctive in
French needs to be preceeded by a conjunction and cannot appear in a
plain sentence, so "votre langue soit ici" is incorrect. Anyway, I still
think that "Mettez votre langue ici", despite it's less a direct
translation, is a better equivalent to "your language goes here", at
least for the feeling it gives to me. And I am a native French speaker
:) . Please help me Mathias! You're the only one on this list that uses
French everyday (I think I'm losing mine as I speak French only one or
two hours a day!).
