25 LINGUAS are already in USE_EXPAND so you can use them as linguas_en
26 and linguas_fr just as any other USE flags. However, I think we should
27 introduce new variable other than LINGUAS (see comment #58). LINGUAS
28 approach doesn't handle language conflict in comment #36 (for example,
29 Japanese and Russian patches conflict in media-sound/xmms), so I
30 suggest Portage to implement USE_LOCALE and lang_prefer (or
31 locale_prefer) described in this bug.
