I think the tone of this article is a little wonky. As far as I know *all* foss software is internationalised at the outset nowadays. Most projects will not accept code that does not have i18n. The problem is not with the Americans, it is with us - we just dont have enough translators. Even wildly popular software like drupal lacks translations. And localisation efforts also lag behind - which is why I made this post. And it doesnt help when there are people running around denigrating this activity also. -- regards KG http://lawgon.livejournal.com _______________________________________________ To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] with "unsubscribe <password> <address>" in the subject or body of the message. http://www.ae.iitm.ac.in/mailman/listinfo/ilugc
