I saw the Chinese date-stamp in his email and deducted the same, hence why I said it might be wise to add the language of his installation, so people are aware (but to django-users).
Don't really know what serveral pages are, but I do understand language barrier problems :p (just kidding, hugz typo's) As for a Chinese documentation project, I think that might be something for the Chinese users, who are fluent in English, to do. I don't think many of the devs are versed in Mandarin or Cantonese, (other then the little Cantonese they might have picked up from watching movies out of Hong Kong XD). Personally, as I keep telling people in my lil country, even if it bothers you, try doing stuff in other languages, knowing them will only benefit you in the long run. I personally hate dubbed TV shows, especially children programs for over the age of 8. If they leave them in the native language, with subtitles, the kids will pick up the basics of the languages very easily and the more contact they have at a young age, with other languages, the more easily they'll learn new languages throughout their life. But, for older users, I can certainly understand it to be a potential source of frustrations, even more so, if you are professionally tasked to research the subject and don't have the time to get well versed in English. r/Jan 2012/4/11 bhuztez <bhuz...@gmail.com> > The document clearly states that "You'll see a message for each > database table it creates". > > I guess Jason Ma had a hard time reading the document because it is > written in English.
