I suspect that being able to read logs is much more important for |
| 15 |
general bug wranglers like Jeroen than for the developers who only |
| 16 |
deal with bugs for a small set of packages. Although I find |
| 17 |
non-English logs annoying, they are usually good enough for me to find |
| 18 |
the problem when dealing with bugs in a package with which I am |
| 19 |
already familiar. However, I would likely be lost if I needed to help |
| 20 |
a user who had posted a log in a language that I did not understand |
| 21 |
for a package that I knew little about. |
