Ever been asked if you want to "nearby the application"? I usually disable NLS or use LANG=C/en_US.UTF-8 all the time for most development tools (gmake, gcc etc.) since the translations are just irritating, but explicitly switch to my native language for certain UI apps. That's fairly easy to do though, so in most cases messing with NLS on a ports level is unnecessary, e.g. export LANG=en_US.UTF-8 alias gimp="LANG=de_DE.UTF-8 gimp" (for those who prefer using gimp in German) -- Michael Gmelin
