the problem is that there isn't any french translation of mozilla 1.1,
but there is one for 1.0. In the 8.2 release, Mozilla 9.8 was in french
after install : people which are going to upgrade won't understand why
upgrading means loosing the french traduction ! Is it really a progress
? I would prefer a 1.0 in french than an 1.1 in English : Linux would
still be said to be a not well traducted OS...
