Could you add something like "For more details w.r.t. localization, see https://wiki.gentoo.org/wiki/Localization/HOWTO"; so people can look up here how to set that particular setting and learn about other settings. > Note that submitting localized build logs to the Gentoo Bugzilla > is discouraged, and that such bug reports may be closed as INVALID > by the package maintainer. Would very much like to see this part dropped or a bit more polite; even in another language, you often only need the error message and if you use a translator like Google Translate you often get an error code that closely resembles the English error. As far as I am aware bug wranglers usually translate the error; and only very rarely, it can't be translated or other parts of the build logs are needed. I haven't heard of much problems with this yet... If kept, word it something like "When filing bugs; if maintainers are unable to translate the necessary information from the build log, please attach an English build log [1] and then reopen the bug. [1]: `LC_MESSAGES=C emerge ...`". Thanks for the change and thank you very much in advance. -- With kind regards, Tom Wijsman (TomWij) Gentoo Developer E-mail address : tom...@gentoo.org GPG Public Key : 6D34E57D GPG Fingerprint : C165 AF18 AB4C 400B C3D2 ABF0 95B2 1FCD 6D34 E57D
