Hi Spohie, I deleted those parts where we agree.

Are there any rough estimations how many people are affected that can not contribute in this technical process because of the need to read basic English texts? As I said, bugzilla, easy hacks, LibOCon, this project list, ... When I see what is discussed on the german discuss list (reworking of the download page) where the non-german speaking community is not aware of and can not take part in the discussion, and probably similar things going on on other language mailing lists, I believe we already lose so much by not using the same language that connects us way to often. > > Litmus becomes unusable and getting statistics gets much > > harder as you have to aggregate over all the languages. > > I'm following the next generation Mozilla is working on.

That would easily result in more than 1000 testcases that have some obscure tagging and categorizing in the testcase summary. If I look into the mozilla litmus I can just guess why they do not use localized testcases this way. I believe this is a huge trade-off and not worth it. Litmus is already complicated enough to use, working around the workflow to get some localization feature into it that is not cleanly integrated into the application just makes it worse. I fear that through making it look more complex we will scare more people away than we reach through the localizations that first have to written. And by the way all those users of the languages that are not in your estimated 15/20 languages do not even have the opportunity. But I agree to disagree here.
