I read the discussion, it's a shame. I usually don't like your critics Santiago, howevere here you're right. Ben, it's a pity that we have to prove to you that people *use* locales. It's so self-evident ! As for facts (not really up to date but anyway) : http://lists.debian.org/stats/ debian-user : 2120 subscribers sum of debian-{otherlanguage}: 3355 I have a counted the biggest list in each language (ie i have not added debian-chinese, debian-chinese-big5 and debian-chinese-gb, i just used the biggest figure from all three). So there's at least more than 60% of our users who are non-english and who use locales ... and this can only increase when Debian gets more and more non-en friendly (ie more localized).
