10 Nothing that I see in the spec disallows automatic translation of generic
11 names. By specifically allowing for this before it becomes standard, we
12 simplify the creation of these files later. Also, when a new translation
13 is made available, it need only be updated in one location rather than in
14 each ebuild. Thus we are able to prevent a maintenance nightmare.

16 As for the categories, I see now that it was not a hierarchy. Yes, I
17 erred by writing before I was fully aware of all the details. For this, I
18 apologize.
