As far as I can tell, no new languages will be supported (80% translated) in GNOME 2.20, and we may actually have less supported languages than before (54 in GNOME 2.16, 50 in 2.20, unknown in 2.18). We can't claim that N'Ko languages are supported (because there are no translations that actually use that pango shaper), and I don't wish to make a big deal of the purely under-the-hood part of N'Ko support that does now exist. So I don't think that we should use improved internationalization as a major new them. I have mentioned the RTL support, because that's real and cool. It's string freeze now, so this discussion is done, though there's still some freedom for the splash and for a press release if someone chooses to do one. This is the introductory paragraph now in the release notes: " The improvements in GNOME &gnomeversion; include: Improved support for right-to-left languages; desktop search integrated into the file chooser dialog; convenient new features in the Evolution email and calendar client; enhanced browsing of image collections; simplified system preferences; efficient power management and incredibly accurate laptop battery monitoring. Developers receive more help with application development thanks to a new version of the GTK+ toolkit, improved tools, and a great new documentation web site.
