> Message localization is not so important for administration, and I slightly object to that specific sentence. Thinking that system administration should be reserved to people able to read and understand English narrows the potential target we have.
Of course, there are a lot of issues with localized root account especially with non Latin-1 languages (with ISO-8859-1 languages, there is nearly no issue at all.....all my machines are french localized even for the root acount), but I think we have to make our best for making it possible. Just throwing away the problem by just mentioning that "everyone uses English for system administration" is far too restrictive and geek-minded. I know lot of very good Unix system administrators who don't speak English at all and have high difficulties in reading and understanding English other than very basic. This is of course not directed to you, Kenshi, as I know this is not the way you think. This is more directed to several of my fellow geek Debianers I already read here and there with that kind of presomptuous affirmation...:-) (horrible English around) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
