First off, I am dissapointed that your mail did also not come in at least one additional language besides English. To answer your question... Behind the scenes a discussion has occurred, which may require all developers to commit their changes in many languages, perhaps as many as demonstrated in the well known "My god there is an axe in my head" document. If that means a developer must first get assistance from a translater, maybe that is a price worth paying. Alternatively, we'll make an appeal for contributions so that developers can take (non-programming) language courses. Those courses are not free. But the big win is that a more global audience will start understanding the intricacies of the open source movement's processes, and before long we'll have developers from Uganda, Laos, Tajikistan, and maybe even Alabama (ok, maybe that is a long shot). I'm going to call this the "many tongues" effort. Many eyes have not found security problems, many fingers pointing haven't done much actual lifting, so it is time to research the effect of another body part. Right now I'm working on adding multilingual support to the boot code. Doing my part. Ngale ngasese ingxoxo iye kwenzeka , okungase zidinga wonke onjiniyela ukuba enze izinguquko yabo ngezilimi eziningi , mhlawumbe abaningi njengoba kuboniswe abaziwa kahle " unkulunkulu My kukhona imbazo asekhanda lami " mbhalo . Uma lokho kusho umqambi kumele siqale usizo a translater , kungenzeka ukuthi kungenxa ngenani kuwufanele nokukhokha . Kungenjalo , sizokwenza i isikhalo for iminikelo ukuze Onjiniyela kungathatha ( non - izinhlelo ) zolimi izifundo . Lezo zifundo akuzona free . Kodwa lo win enkulu ukuthi izethameli more global uzoqala ukuqonda butholakala enqubweni eyinkimbinkimbi yokuthela izinqubo ukuhamba umthombo ovulekile sika - futhi kungakabiphi, sizobe babe Onjiniyela ezivela Uganda kuneLaos , Tajikistan , futhi mhlawumbe Alabama ( Kulungile , kungenzeka ukuthi kuyisimo shot eside ) . Ngizofika ukubiza lokhu " izilimi eziningi ' ukuzikhandla . Amehlo Eziningi azigcini Izinkinga lwezokuphepha bathola , iminwe eziningi ekhombe abangazange kwenziwe okuningi bephakamisa uqobo , ngakho kuba isikhathi ucwaningo umphumela komunye umzimba okuyingxenye . Kwamanje Ngiyasebenza on unezela ukwesekwa ngezilimi eziningi ukuze ikhodi ebhuthini . Ukwenza okuyingxenye wami .
