As we learned from Plone, internationalization has much to do with "skinning", with a quick way to recustomize depending on a user's needs. (a) should we just freeze a master disk for each language, (b) or might one distro handle multiple languages through some core library reskinning service? I think interimly, the former is more practical, as these core services don't exist yet, what with unicode still being somewhat in its infancy and so on. We need the assistance of locales to get their versions defined in some electronic archive. Like, where's the gaelic version of Linux, or at least a GNU desktop thereon? One solution I've found: http://www.kde.ie/ga.php Kirby On 8/17/06, Andre Roberge <andre.roberge@gmail.com> wrote:

4. [and this is what I'm mostly asking about] Graphics commands, for example circle() or set_line_color() or set_line_colour() [we support both syntax ;-)]. The strings are ready to be translated [i.e. replace circle() by cercle(), or set_line_color() by couleur_de_ligne()] but, since the documentation (and tutorials) are likely to be only in English, I'm wondering about the wisdom of translating them.
