Localization of text mode

Hi,

are we going to localize the text mode? If we do, there is one important decision to make:

- are we localizing the commands too? I am talking about using 'q' for quit, 'c' for continue...

We can do that easily, but I have heard some objections from Brno people about it. The argument was, that it makes
it hard to script the serial console and makes it confusing to switch between languages.

As an example of this, you might not be aware of it, but Microsoft Excel has localized function names (=SUM vs. =SUMA or =SQRT vs. =ODMOCNINA) and when you move between english and czech version of it a lot, it really makes you wanting to hurt someone in that company.
