[gentoo-user] Native Language Support

2007-08-07 Thread Sergey A. Kobzar
Hi,

I have a mail server with UK/US locales support only. Access to
console have limited number of users only.

Do I need NLS support? What are consequences if I switch off NLS flag
in installed packages?

As I understand NLS gives man pages and docs in few languages.
Correct?

For most packages that's true. However, it mainly influences the
availability of programs' frontends' languages (libintl/gettext).

Switching it off shouldn't do any harm.
