Ok, here's the summary of my NON-representative poll to PHP-De about localization
of error messages in PHP:
Pro: 1
Contra: 8
Some thoughts that were brought up:
- PHP developers should not waste their time on localization, instead focus
on increasing verbosity of existing error messages (a meaningless error
message in english will be meaningless in every other language as well).
- The english used in error messages is only a small subset of the whole
language (come on, everyone knows enough MTV-english to understand error
messages). However, other countries might have more problems as their
languages don't come from the same language family.
