As we wait for libh development, I do not think we should exert efforts to try for another solution. This tends to allow for slack in further development of better products. A good example would be a proposal by Alfred Pernstein to slightly modify RELENG_4 SMP for the duration of SMPNG

People who run -CURRENT should be able to read and write English to understand the code comments, report bugs, and post to the lists in English. "If you don't know what to do with -CURRENT, don't install it." You seem to be working from the assumption that people who understand English can't

My feeling on this is that sysinstall is (and always has been :-) at the end of its life and adding multi-lingual capabilities to it is a reasonable part of its retirement. The libh project is promising but suffers from a lack of volunteers, volunteers who aren't working on sysinstall either so
