How to Select Administrators

I?m working on Japanese Wiki, and the Japanese site might need some more 
administrators sooner or later. The Japanese wiki is still young, truly 
active only for one month, but already has 3200 pages and 160 registered 
users. Currently, Brion is the only admin. In my opinion, he's been prompt 
when we made requests ( - thanks Brion :-), but many knows that his ability 
to understand Japanese language is limited, and he is mostly not involved in 
the day-to-day activities happening at the site.

Now [[Wikipedia:Administration FAQ]] tells us how administrators are 
selected in English Wiki, but the process does not fit to our situation 
quite well.

I am personally thinking that we (wikipedians in the Japanese site) will 
have some discussion and possibly voting when someone express interest for 
being an admin., and make a page where people sign to express their support, 
objection, or neither.
That way, non-native speakers who might want to confirm that the candidate 
is widely supported can get a quick answer, and feel comfortable to give the 
admin status.

I would like to know how other non-English sites handled this issue.
Any other related advises, tips, pointers to the past discussions, etc. are 
appreciated.

best,

Tomos
