Hi!

This is an issue for talking about i18n, I think that in general it's
not well-built in Linux in general. These are main reasons:

* I do use [EMAIL PROTECTED] and ISO-8859-15 encoding. I'm forced to use this,
because if I used UTF-8, some special characters make us mad, and they
don't work as they should. Another main reason, is that if I've
everything compiled for ISO-8859-15 in locales.build, I'm NOT GOING to
recompile all my system for making it UTF-8.

* UTF-8 is an effort for making an universal encoding, but as I said
before, It doesn't work perfectly for spanish users (I talk from my
point of view, because is the thing that I know).

* Without UTF-8, some apps like Totem creates problems in my system,
this is a bug that I posted in gentoo and it's unconfirmed yet, but I
would like you to think about it:

Thanks.
