-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 As the writer of the original l10n chapter.sgml I have followed what changes have been made to this chapter. However, I could not help but notice the l10n chapter has slowly been taken over by Russian examples and Russian specific setting. These settings are mostly specific to Russian or European languages which would cause grief for the Asian Language users. [i.e. Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese] Originally, I had intended to let RU be the example for European charsets and ZH/JP be the example for Asian charsets. Now that we have all the examples,the specific settings, the moused changes, the sc0 configs, etc. all made purely for RU, I would like to first extend my thanks to Ache, then express my concern for the Asian users. In rewriting the L10N chapter,I had hoped that, the Asian users would gain some help and direction for localizing their systems. Before I rewrote the L10N chapter, Asian users knew that going to the handbook would not help their L10N very much and had to dig up other unofficial documents. This was very frustrating. Japan/China/Korea/Taiwan account for a very large FreeBSD user group that goes unnoticed. In addition, I had wrote it in the intention that we have a generalized chapter to help all FreeBSD users to have some direction in L10N, not a total encompassing chapter for specific languages. Hence I did not include specific stuff like X keyboard settings. I will submit another patch for the chapter after this week. Hopefully, it won't get modified into some specific language's L10N tutorial. - -- ¹]¤M¶Q¤@³Î¡A«o·Q¸u¨}¹Ï¡C Strive for the very best; The outcome is not important. - -- - ----- Original Message ----- From: "Andrey A.
