Julik,
Allow me, as a core team member, to say, "the core team cares about
this issue." I hope that assuages some of your pain.
Now, as a core team member, allow me to say, "the core team has no
experience with i18n". Allow me also to say, "the core team has no
pressing needs for extensive i18n in their applications." And lastly,
allow me to say (as has been said multiple times), "patches are
always welcome."
I apologize if I've come off snarky, here, but no ones like to be
called insensitive. And members of the core team HAVE addressed this
issue, repeatedly, and on this very list. Our universal answer is "if
someone comes up with a good solution, we'll consider it." I'm sorry
if that's not the kind of answer you want to hear, but I can promise
you that the core team will not just go away for a month and come
back with an i18n solution that everyone loves. Mostly because most
of us have never done i18n before, and are therefore not best
qualified to come up with a solution.
Please, please, please, work on this. Please, please, please come up
with a solution and get the other people on this list (and elsewhere)
who need i18n to buy off on it, And then, please, please, please post
a patch. That is the only way it's going to happen.
