Sorry I posted an answer a bit earlier this morning before I got to your response to your own question.

You're exactly on the mark! This is something that, unless you have a need you won't appreciate it. But once you do, you're completely sold.

Such a multi-lingual, multi-locale feature offered by Red Hat 8.0 (I first saw it in Red Hat 7.3, but it was not nearly as eloquent) truely sets it apart from any other operating system (not just other Linux distros, but any OS, inclusing Microsoft Windows).

Of course, the fact that both Mozilla and, particularly, KOffice (not OpenOffice) have, at the same time, evolved into true multi-lingual, multi-locale application programs, also greatly helps. Combining KOffice with Red Hat 8.0, and we have an absolute winner.

Finally, we have something in consumer desktop Linux that is clearly demonstrably superior to anything Microsoft Windows can offer!

Would it be the ability to set language environments for each user. I set my wife up with an account in Korean, and she's actually willing to start learning about email and web browsing.

Probably off the mark, but it's one of the cooler things I've seen.
