I missed the earlier part of the discussion, but this summer I'm hoping
to start work on internationalization of the notebook user interface.
I'm guessing that it might be convenient to start a separate mailing
list for discussion of i18n issues. A sage-localization group might be
useful for requesting new translations, discussions about fine points of
grammar, and so on.

(There was a discussion a while back about starting new mailing lists,
and some people seemed to think that starting lots of topic-specific
lists wasn't a great idea; however, I think internationalization and
localization are probably distinct enough from support and development
to warrant a new list.)

However, I certainly don't mind the occasional thread on sage-devel
about translations -- I'm very glad to see Sage documents get
translated!
