Yes, this comment is probably wrong. It dates back to the early days of crosstool-NG, even the original crosstool had it: https://code.google.com/p/crosstool/source/browse/trunk/src/crosstool.sh#857 It might be possible to enable NLS, indeed. I never ever tried, because I prefer to rely onthe original messages rather than their translations (mostly because I'm used to the vocabulary used in english, and because the french translation tend to be a little bit funky!). > But I think we'd provide a config for users to enable nls and for > cross and canadian build, the message is still useful, especially for > CJK users. I'm not an expert in i18n, so I gues CJK is Chinese-Japanese-Korean, right? - if that's because it's a different alphabet, CJK is not special; other languages use different alphabets: arabic, greek... - if that's because it's a right-to-left script, then CJK is not special either; other languages are also R2L: arabic (the only I know of, but undoubtly others). So, I believe it could also make non-CJK users very happy! ;-) > What do you think about? I do believe this to be neither too invasive, not too complex to do; so it will make for a nice addition. As Michael said: patch, please! :-) As you suggested, this shoud be a config option. Regards, Yann E.
