It -wouldn't be a bad idea to make our i-default messages be English -plus, say, French -- i-default is meant to /contain/ English, not -be /just/ English.

So: "file '[_1]' not found.\n" and -"fichier '[_1]' non trouve\n" could make for an -%Whatever::i_default::Lexicon entry of -"file '[_1]' not found\nfichier '[_1]' non trouve.\n". - -There may be entries, however, where that is undesirable. -And in any case, it's not feasable once you have an _AUTO lexicon -in the mix, as wo do here. - - - -RFC 2277 says: - -4.5. Default Language - - When human-readable text must be presented in a context where the - sender has no knowledge of the recipient's language preferences (such - as login failures or E-mailed warnings, or prior to language - negotiation), text SHOULD be presented in Default Language. - - Default Language is assigned the tag "i-default" according to the - procedures of RFC 1766. It is not a specific language, but rather - identifies the condition where the language preferences of the user - cannot be established. - - Messages in Default Language MUST be understandable by an English- - speaking person, since English is the language which, worldwide, the - greatest number of people will be able to get adequate help in - interpreting when working with computers. - - Note that negotiating English is NOT the same as Default Language; - Default Language is an emergency measure in otherwise unmanageable - situations. - - In many cases, using only English text is reasonable; in some cases, - the English text may be augumented by text in other languages. - - |
