All my machines are set to an English locale anyway, so no problem
there. I'd rather opt for consistency of program output than
localisation when it comes to log messages and such: For me it's
kind-of annoying when analysis scripts stop working just because
someone switched the locale setting.

An area where localisation makes perfect sense though is in user-facing
front-end parts of the software: So happy that I could give my mom a
machine running Ubuntu that has most user interfaces translated to
German ;)


Cheers,
Isabel
