I have been getting considerable traffic from non-English domains and sites, mainly from non-English Google searches from all over the world and foreign language bookmarking sites. I have successfully generated traffic from Italian, Spanish, French, German, Dutch, Portugese, and many other foreign language domains. This is what prompted me to suggest the installation of a 'Translate This Page'button
According to the World Internet Statistics, only around 30% internet users are Engish. So, there are nearly 70% of the traffic to aim for!. Please refer to the screenshot below. These stats are last updated on June 30, 2008.

How To Get Traffic From Non-English Sites
One of the reason I wanted the 'translate this page' button is that, not all foreign language visitors will be able to comprehend what is on a stricly English site and they may never return again. Or they will have to use their own tool to translate the pages. Although there are a lot of free online translation tools available I rely on Google Translate.
As Mark Indicated, there is also a lighter side of online automatic translations with which you can entertain yourself at Lost In Translation.
Ok. Here is how I do it.
With Google Translate you can translate most major languages somewhat effectively. Using this tool I translate the title and text for the article into the language I want. I copy these and head over to the foreign language bookmarking sites of my choice. Once again I use the Google Translate tool to convert their pages to english. Now you can easily use that site just like any other English bookmarking sites and hope to get some traffic from them. Anyway you are getting a free backlink from a foreign language site! Don't forget that most of these foreign language sites have high PR as well.
For your reference below is the biggest list of working non-English bookmarking sites that you can use to get some high traffic. I am sure in the coming years there will be more and more language specific sevices on the net, and I will have keep on updating this list. But always remember not to break the golden rule of social bookmarking sites. DONT SPAM!
