16 I agree. There are quite a number of bugs, either compile time or
17 runtime, that can be spotted and reported to upstream (and hope that
18 they get fixed) in Turkish locale and I posted on my dev blog why[1]
19 this happens. I choose to translate the messages after the build.log if
20 I reproduce the bug only in Turkish locale. If our bug reporting guide
21 is not guiding people (yeah people don't read docs and especially ones
22 that are longer than a paragraph and in a language that they can't read)
23 portage could say a few words on sending the bug report in English if it
24 spots another locale with the exception of the bug being a locale
25 specific issue.
