Subforum for local communities?

I wonder if it’s possible to add region/language-specific subforums to this site? So that LoCo teams don’t need to maintain separate forums?

I thought that both the LoCo.ubuntu.com site and the Ubuntuforums.org site covered this need already. Has something changed? Or have I misunderstood?

I just rather like the discourse system as it has Markdown support, etc.
