Add L10N="en" to make.conf "en" has no tweaks to be made to the new naming style so that's all you do. Other folks who use, for example, Brazilian Portuguese, will need to make tweaks and look up the correct value in the file the news item references. For now LINGUAS and L10N will work in parallel and the devs will do the heavy lifting. For the moment all changes will be light touch, the big tasks will happen later. One day you will need to remove LINGUAS from make.conf entirely, but that day is not today. And all of this is necessary because making a USE_EXPAND env var called LINGUAS was a really stupid idea from day one. -- Alan McKinnon alan.mckin...@gmail.com
