That's what's needed for a German mailing list, but many mailing lists are in English only. Just a few lists are in German. > Anyway, to post English output if your locale is non-English, just > prepend LC=C before the command. > > e.g % LC=C apt-cache policy zsh-beta Yes, but how do I get German output, when I'm using English only? And for GUI applications, how do I know what the menus are named etc.? I would have to install language packages for each app. Why should I do this? Just to join a German mailing list, with a small community, while I anyway have to join many English mailing lists? I tried to do the translation of Qtractor and perhaps I'll do it this year or at the beginning of next year. However, I don't have much time and it's very time consuming, because IMO many things are hard to translate, the English words are much better, than German terms.
