Re: report on [bad] status of i18n of gnome apps - somebody should explicitly care about it

You are saying too softly.

If the software is not open and free, it is same as nothing for us, right?
If the software is not good for i18n, it is same as garbages for us, CJK users.

Garbage seems to be better than nothing, but I'm wasting too much time to recyle
the garbages. No creativeness, no interesting.

Many new garbages are announced on the top of http://www.gnome.org/ .

I18N or DIE!
