Reason for investigation wasn't the act of localization of Ubuntu (as
we've learned from the link you've given). Incident has shown that since
the investigation wasn't about localization of Ubuntu it's not illegal to
localize Linux in Turkey (otherwise that would be another subject for
investigation). It's not a surprise for me because I already knew and was
saying that localization of Linux to your mother tongue is not illegal in
Turkey.
