My wife asked me: Has yoour stupid Linux no German browser? It´s so easy at work and here I have to leran English. (So, I builded a mozilla-locale-de-at package, see #110513.) Moreover I try to catch my son with German fortunes. By the way Debian-Junior heavily needs locale for all non-English speaking childs.
Kind regards Andreas.
