Hi,

   Probably the translator will not like my opinion ... but I have one.

   My first language is Spanish. Actually I live in Italy, but 
basically speak in English
   in the Web, etc.

   Offer something in non-english ... is really not necessary and only 
offers an opportunity
   to non-english speaking to enter in something in some mode and 
generally incomplete.

   So, my advice is that everyone does not lose time in translate 
programs, or use things
   like Computers or programs in non-english, but just ENGLISH.

   All the efforts that hundred of people translating are simple obsolete.

   Also to maintain a program, if you support three or five ... or up 
to 40 like KDE, you
   will have a incredible effort for nothing.

   This is valid for sales, and the rest. Just english.

   I want that people, learn from our mistakes, investing an incredible 
quantity of money and
   time. Just English, and don't lose time in other matters.

   Also, the efforts for translations may be focalized in increase, 
test and enhace programs
   instead to change labels, for an eventual new customer[s].

Regards,
Giovanni.

PS. Yo adoro mi primer idioma, mi Espan#ol. Pero es mas facil, ya sea para
quien habla espan#ol aprender Ingles, que para quien desarolla el programa
utilizar, un solo language: English!

Deseo que aprovechen de esto, en no crear mas mundos, si no en enfortalezer
un solo, porque hay un solo mundo.

Un abrazo!
