I don't have an issue with localizations on my systems (I don't |
| 34 |
use them anyway), the problem is with other people reporting bugs or |
| 35 |
asking for support posting messages we can't understand, the |
| 36 |
questionable quality of translations (as we can't really control them) |
| 37 |
potentially leading to bogus bug reports and the general added |
| 38 |
complexity. It's just my opinion that system tools simply shouldn't be |
| 39 |
localized (best example: gcc error messages). |
