Are there any plans to support changing of mail interface addresses for

As a native italian speaker (who however virtually always uses the English
interface in the *GUI* of mailman and any other tool) I would regard as
highly inconvenient any localization of *service address suffixes*).
- First of all admins may be used to the English-like form and would
be annoyed to use a different form for different mailing lists
- Secondly it would be like translating commands in a programming
language ... GO TO -> VAI A (Fortran), if -> se (almost all languages),
open -> apri (C and other languages) ... nobody does that seriously
but for fun !
- Finally, in lack of an agreed standard, since Italian is a much more
complicated language for what concerns verbal forms, one will have
to choose the tense (infinitive, imperative or indicative) and the
person (2nd singular, 2nd plural or 3rd courtesy form),
Just crazy.
