1 Hello
2
3 What is the official way of adding localisation support
4 to applications. One possible solution would be to
5 include use flags for the various localisations.
6 Take for example aterm which has optional support for
7 japanese (and?)/or chinese. Now the default aterm
8 ebuild should not build them by default (they make
9 displaying e.g. iso-8895-* difficult) and it would
10 be quite problematic to make many versions of the
11 same package for the different users. I want
12 to know what is the way chosen by gentoo to
13 handle this.
