8 In a previous thread, I proposed that the linguas_* use flags should
9 default to enabled (IUSE="+linguas_en_US ...").
10
11 This would cause LINGUAS use-expand behavior to more closely mimic the
12 behavior of the gettext autoconf macros (/usr/share/aclocal/po.m4).
13
14 If LINGUAS is unset, all translations are installed.
15 If LINGUAS is set a subset of translations are install.
16 If LINGUAS is set to the empty string, no translations are installed.
