E.g. we went and translated a bunch of the *.TXT files into various languages (among them Russian) and then gave sysinstall the ability to change the screen map, terminal type and keyboard mapping according to a global language setting. That survived for exactly one release after we realized that we didn't have the infrastructure necessary to translate those documents on an ongoing basis. It was sort of an experiment anyway, so nobody really cried when we took it back out. But I'm not against it's resurrection. That was then, these days we have quite a bit more infrastructure and a better translation process. Also, thanks to Mr. Mah, the *.TXT files have finally been integrated into our overall docs and are thus far easier to generate international versions of. - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-i18n" in the body of the message
