I don't have an issue with localizations on my systems (I don't use them anyway), the problem is with other people reporting bugs or asking for support posting messages we can't understand, the questionable quality of translations (as we can't really control them) potentially leading to bogus bug reports and the general added complexity. It's just my opinion that system tools simply shouldn't be localized (best example: gcc error messages). Marius -- [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list
