I'm also non native english and I would much rather have people focus on fixing bugs rather than submitting idiotic translations.
Exhibit A: latest GCC error message,
"le déréférencement d'un pointeur transtypé à la barbare va enfreindre la règle selon laquelle une zone mémoire ne peut être accédée que par un seul pointeur".
Nowadays I just set LC_ALL=C on my machines since translations are so bad.
- Grue3 9y agoJust today I was trying to install a new version of Postgres on Windows. For some reason they decided to detect system language and print all error messages in Russian... in the wrong encoding, so it looked like lorem ipsum written in Wingdings font. Took me ages to understand what the problem is. Just use English for god's sake.
- tutanchamun 9y agoYeah, as a non native speaker I can't agree more. It also makes it easier to find a solution for a problem if all users get the same error message.
