Bug Description
While it's good and understandable that there is a restriction preventing users from adding multiple reviews of the same software in the same language, I think it should be allowed to add multiple translations. Currently, this is not possible. When invoking software-center with a different locale so as to be able to post a review in a different language than the systems' default, you end up with this message from the web API:
{"errors": {"__all__": ["A user cannot create multiple reviews for an app."]}}
Please add support for adding reviews in multiple languages for the same package and allow language switching / specifying the review language.

Hi Moritz, and thanks for your report! We do have the problem of how to translate reviews, and the idea of allowing a single reviewer to enter reviews in multiple languages is definitely a possible solution. It does seem that we should not disallow such a thing. I'll set this suggestions as "wishlist" and we can discuss it at UDS.
Thanks again!
