I don't know about car engine controllers, but presumably they have diagnostic ports, and they may sometimes output text. If they output text, then at least hypothetically car mechanics in Russia might prefer their car to output "правда" and "ложный" rather than "true" and "false".
From a bit of googling, it seems that engine controller diagnostic ports typically speak some kind of binary protocol. So it would be up to the software running on whatever was plugged into the port to display the information in the user's native language. E.g. this document lists a big pile of hex byte values and little or no text that I can see: https://law.resource.org/pub/us/cfr/ibr/005/sae.j1979.2002.pdf -- Greg _______________________________________________ Python-Dev mailing list Python-Dev@python.org https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-dev Unsubscribe: https://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-dev/archive%40mail-archive.com
