Err? Why? I have met so many Germans, who use only German
UI. Infact, my very good friend who is on this list even, uses a
German UI since he learnt some German some months back. In case you
were not aware, they even have slightly modified keyboard for their
umlaut. I have seen Koreans using KDE translated in Korean. I have
seen Karunkar using Hindi UI, Runa Bangla UI, Kartik using Gujarati
UI. Ravi blogs only in Hindi afaics. Sri Ramadoss just finished
translating complete works for RMS in to Tamil. SMC is flighting to
make sure every bit of computing is done in Malayalam. Oh and guess
what - they comprise of people ranging from a student to a farmer. I
kid you not. KDE 4.1 translation for Malayalam was done by a farmer
along with many others. You really think, he will tell his family,
villagers, fellow farmers to use computers in English? Btw, now afaik,
they are now translating GNOME into Malayalam to make it to the
impending release.

Err? What is basis of this statement? I am quite sure
there are many who can't read/write Hindi. Probably you mean, content
in local languages, then I am all for it anyway.

But that is your problem. Not the person who knows the
native language well. As I said, some one somewhere deep in one corner
of India, appreciates the localised software. And I gave ample
examples, look around you carefully, you might find more people doing
the same.
