II think it's a great idea. Of course, the web speaks english and most |
| 6 |
systems/programs use that language, but localization turns the |
| 7 |
experience of using a software much more confortable. If you spend |
| 8 |
most of your day processing a language that's not your native one, its |
| 9 |
a relief to give your brain a break by reading something on your own |
| 10 |
language. And localization on community projects like Gentoo always |
| 11 |
worked like a charm to me. |

I don't see how changing text into a program would break its main |
| 17 |
function. Maybe a liltte "mix" of languages, but that's not a real |
| 18 |
bug. You may step into some charset problems, but as long as the core |
| 19 |
of the system keeps a language as default and only the interface |
| 20 |
changes, that's not a problem. |
| 21 |
|
| 22 |
And, of course, it may gather more users, to enhance the community, |
| 23 |
make better translations and update the localization. And, let's not |
| 24 |
forget, Gentoo is about choices... You may simply use the default |
| 25 |
language. |
