Dear standards maintainers,

What if we translated command-line option names? I don’t understand why
a command-line user should be required to speak English. In GUIs, menu
entries are translated, and it is more helpful than annoying.

Are there fundamental problems with this idea, that we don’t see with
GUIs?
1. Automatically invoking programs as sub-processes: it’s easy to set
LANG=C when invoking a program. Or use short option names.
2. ?

Happy hacking!
