It sort of stopped at one point due to missing integration in mainline. What I refer to is mostly the mconf.c bits, but I would also like to see what lkml says to a sample of .po files included in the kernel for a number of languages. One criteria to get a .po file integrated could be at least 10% of the strings translated or similar. Sam
