-----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=20 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.=20 Chinese/Japanese/Korean/Vietnamese] Originally, I had intended=20 to let RU be the example for European charsets and ZH/JP be the=20 example for Asian charsets. =20 Now that we have all the examples,the specific settings,=20 the moused changes, the sc0 configs, etc. all made purely for RU,=20 I would like to first extend my thanks to Ache, then express my concern for the Asian users. In rewriting=20 the L10N chapter,I had hoped that, the Asian users would gain=20 some help and direction for localizing their systems. Before I rewrote the L10N chapter, Asian users knew that going to the=20 handbook would not help their L10N very much and had to dig up=20 other unofficial documents. This was very frustrating. =20 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=20 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. - -- =B9]=A4M=B6Q=A4@=B3=CE=A1A=ABo=B7Q=B8u=A8}=B9=CF=A1C Strive for the very best; The outcome is not important. - -- - ----- Original Message -----=20 From: "Andrey A.
