Surely this can be automated? "Error - Bug not filed! No emerge --info attachment detected. Either tag one of your attachments as `emerge --info`, or upload one" > I think adding a note to bugzilla reminding reporters that logs need to be in > english would be a better solution than forcing it on everyone. Again, automation should be moderately easy to achieve. Having bugzie grep for "Error" / "Warning" in the top ten non-English languages should be enough. On a positive, reject the output with a popup explaining how to get an English version. Am I wrong, or is LC_MESSAGES=C a non-UTF-8 locale? Why is this considered a good idea? Why not en-UTF-8?
