All locale-related commits must pass my review. Your changes we talk about definitely not. Previous l10n chapter state was far more accurate then after your comiit which bypass my review. I am not object any Asian-related changes since I not understand this stuff well, but in other areas you break you definitely have no experience to write anything. I prefer to see right stuff in wrong English (which anybody can correct) than wrong stuff in good English. -- Andrey A.
