I agree with what you said above about English. But just as you said, it needs _time_ and translation *is* a good way to help this. I, myself, began to learn computer English by reading the translations of some famous English textbooks, and then reading the original ones. >OTOH, Internet has so much noise and crap all over the place, that >information is very hard to find.

Translations can be put in .po files. Thanks.
