Uhh.. I think someone has taken this far, far too personally. I don't personally care whether a freebsd web page is translated into Urdu or Swahilii - just so long as it provides a useful local resource. What we talked about earlier with getting mirrors up to some standard is also valuable, I think, though that has far less to do with the target language than it does with the feature set, e.g. we should support features like searching and local statistics or people in Brazil and elsewhere will only need to go to the U.S. for those resources and that's a pity - a big goal of the regional mirrors is to make that information available "closer to home", after all. We're still waiting for John F. and Ade to define what the "canonical mirror" should look like, however, and until that happens there is no sense at all in pointing fingers at any of our mirrors (nor really will there ever be - even "rogue" mirrors can simply be worked with to improve them rather than trying to blame anyone for anything).
