No need. I can look at the source of almost any UNIX program and see that there is no provision for localization at all, short of brute modification of the source code itself. But this is not unreasonable for a server operating system, although it's much harder to defend for software visible to potentially unsophisticated end users. However, back in the days when UNIX was written, localization was not a high priority, and when it was undertaken at all, it was done the hard way, by rewriting. > You haven't checked, then. No, I have not, but I should be _extremely_ surprised if Apple has gone through all the UNIX source code and modified it to permit easy localization. That would come perilously close to a rewrite. -- Anthony _______________________________________________ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
