We, Debian JP Project http://www.debian.or.jp/ , have packaged
many Japanese-oriented softwares and uploaded them to Debian.
Then what occured? Some non-Japanese people asked us how to use
them and possible bugs and so on, which means that Japanese-
oriented softwares are sometimes useful for non-Japanese people.
Please go ahead. If someone non-Swedish finds the software in
Debian packages and feels it is very useful, he/she may start
a project to translate it into English or other languages. It
is exciting!
However, the software will have to have a license document in English.
