I'll just add that: - having two language choices is confusing and unnecessary (one for installer and one for the app itself) - the installer choice is not stating clearly that this choice is just for the installer and that the applications language is an independent setting
and: I already set my language preferences in the OS preferences. Why do I have to repeat it over an over again? For each application. Twice. (not to mention all the web pages) Regards, David PS: For the hot blooded Turks: Include a "Turkish" option in the installer that just brings up a text block after clicking Next, that explains no Turk has bothered to provide a turkish translation, unlike Kurds... (the last part could be dropped) Could the author of the app translation be contacted about this? If he translated the application, the installer is surely a much smaller piece of work? > -----Original Message----- > From: [email protected] > [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ethan Blanton > Sent: Wednesday, July 13, 2011 7:52 PM > To: Mark Doliner > Cc: [email protected]; Göksel Albeni > Subject: Re: Kurdish is not the official language of Turkey > > Mark Doliner spake unto us the following wisdom: > > 2011/7/13 Göksel Albeni <[email protected]>: > > > Kurdish is not the official language of Turkey. > > > > Is there something in Pidgin that implies that Kurdish is > the official > > language of Turkey? > > No, this is the usual Turkish rant.
