--This whole idea of "internationalization" is fairly recent anyway. Back in the Good Old Days, the priests^H^H^H^H^H^H^Hprogrammers had to learn the COMPUTER's language to get by! Ones and zeroes, baybee!

--Seriously, I don't see why it should be internationalized. To do it right, you would have to have a very large consortium of developers maintaining the stuff full time. If you want to use Linux, learn English - you could always fork the kernel code for your country, but that's a huge undertaking. KISS.
