So we seem to have little precedent for such big translations, so I'd like to
have
higher level buy-in first, before applying such changes.
We do have some ko_KR material upstream already:
triton:~/tip> ls -l Documentation/ko_KR/
total 52
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mingo mingo 35017 Apr 6 09:02 HOWTO
-rw-rw-r-- 1 mingo mingo 12741 Apr 6 09:02 stable_api_nonsense.txt
... but that's introductory level material.
Fundamentally English is the language of the Linux kernel, all in-code comments
are in English. Furthermore, people who know English and don't speak Korean
won't
be able to fix the ko_KR side of the documentation - so most of the time
there's
going to be some lag. It's also going to be harder by maintainers to review
patches to these files, especially if they don't speak Korean.
Thanks,
Ingo
