Atul Vani commented on OFBIZ-5177:
----------------------------------

I believe the the project should support only x number of languages, but should 
support them good. What's the point of having a language in the list and then 
selecting it changes nothing (nothing substantial). It's like having a 
translator and going to China, but the translator himself knows only a couple 
of the words. My proposal was in the direction of improving the quality of the 
product (OFBiz). That when it claims that it supports some language, it does it 
very good. Of course new ui labels will get added even after cleanup, and one 
can not know all the languages. But we can do some yearly spike (before the new 
release?) to fix them up.

We should think about quality (and commitment to it) of the product, even if 
it's being provided for free.
