Having a major desktop app like firefox not localized by default would be a big problem. So far no one proposed any solution robust wrt : - non-technical users - upgrades The "right" solution would probably consist of a mix of : - dumping in /etc a file declaring which languages should be supported by the system at the UI level, including fallback order (app translations, man pages and other localised documentation...) - dumping in /etc a file declaring which languages should be supported by the system at the view/edit level (fonts, spellcheckers...) - writing a system-config-foo to edit those files - integrating this UI in anaconda for initial install - tagging package content which falls in one of the two categories (either at rpm or at comps level - IMHO the right place is rpm, the easier to do is comps) - have yum/rpm respect the language filtering This is major work and so far just installing everything has proved easier. The problem is known since before FC was born. Regards, -- Nicolas Mailhot -- fedora-devel-list mailing list fedora-devel-list@xxxxxxxxxx https://www.redhat.com/mailman/listinfo/fedora-devel-list
