I agree, I would personally call som of the signs nationdemagogy :P

I'm sorry I misunderstood you, hope you can accept my apologies :$.
I thought you were talking about Catalan, because we were discussing the cultural differences.

Anyway I heard once language files are compressed a lot and that it's not a matter of size. So I don't see the point of language packs, which would maybe confuse people who are not used to computers.

language files (the same as any other files of the plus installation) are compressed in zip format inside the setup program so they take about 10 kb or so each ... however what patchou doesn't want is to include lots translations that only would be used by very few people (because those very many ones multiplied by 10 Kb could be something to care about it).

Juas, parece mentira que esteis discutiendo en ingles. De todos modos si de verdad fuera un problema de tamaño solo se incluiria un español, porque todos lo entendemos(los de america, los catalanes, los valencianos, etc). Pero como ese no es el caso no se pa ke discutir, de todos modos muy divertido :D Lo que me extraña es que no este el euskera *-) pk el galego ya lo vi.

Los guiris deben de estar flipando, 4 idiomas solo pa los españoles, y todavia falta otro, que orgullo ser español:banana:

Keep up the good work!!

RE: So many languages
We are discussing in English because we want anyone to understand what we are talking about (si no fuera así ya estaríamos hablando en otro idioma, collons :P).
Dragonball started this thread. He doesn't understand Spanish nor Catalan, but he's interested in these languages. We're replying in Esnglish because it is the best way to get him to understand us :grin:.

Anyway... maybe you're right about that Spanish would be enough, but Patchou is looking for full internationalization, not slim packages. Most people have broad-band connection, it's almost not a matter of size anymore. And if it is... you will enjoy having waited one hour to download such an excellent bit of software! ;)
