(I don't know the exact explanation, I've just looked up the mail archives.) Now, I've made a patch to re-enable it and I've tested this stuff. It seems to be working without any problems on 7.X. I haven't had any opportunity to try it out on -CURRENT, but I've made available the patch for 8-CURRENT. It turns NLS on and adds some new catalog files. I think it would be nice to have this enabled if it seems to be stable, since we have a lot of folks making a good job on translating various FreeBSD documents to other languages and I think it would be great to extend our language support to this new area. I've put the patch here: http://kovesdan.org/patches/nls.diff Sorry for cross-posting to doc@, but there are a lot of translators there, who might be interested in this.
