--- Comment #20 from Mike Kaganski <[email protected]> --- The proposal *seems* to have obvious-looking upsides. However, it also bears downsides. So please consider first if those perceived upsides are real, and actually outweigh the problems. Additional load on localization and packaging are the smaller ones. The real problem that I can see would be at user side, and at global community side. The default template, even though not set active by default, is still used quite often; and having it different for different locales would (1) result in users having (more) different behavior of LibreOffice, with steps working for one user in locale A not working for another using locale B; and consequently, (2) the local communities would be further isolated, having their specific workflows, tutorials, etc., instead of having some increasingly solid community including local communities as integral parts. I realize that the same may be said for everything locale-specific, and I don't think this is very special. But the proposal so far have *not* explained a specific problem it tries to resolve; thus far, it *looks* like "let's do this, because we can". So I suggest *first* to present the specific need, where current single default template makes locales less usable than it could be; and then we need to analyze if those problems could be better addressed by some programmatic changes, rather than by introducing localized default templates. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
