colour/color gray/grey.  I can handle stuff like that, you can handle
it also.

The problem is internationalization efforts are far from free.  It is
a lot of work by unqualified people, leading to development feedback
loops which are long and error prone, resulting in other far more
important development efforts not receiving their due.

There is no "one framework" that can pick the right files.  Even the
upstreams don't have a single selection roadmap, and force each
downstream to make some decisions.  Major downstreams are far better
funded, ie. receiving actual revenue.  Ingo's proposals are trying to
help you by simplifying things so they are manageable rather than
OpenBSD choosing to go English-only.

How many of your realize we are only 10 minutes from having the Balkan
community pipe up.

Don't know the story?  That's why the openbsd web pages are only in
english now, they used to have copies of all other languages but those
got removed.  Why?  Language groups fought email battles and we of the
english majority _DOING ALL THE WORK_ said we the minority has no
right to assign work.  The other languages were removed.

Actual participation isn't built upon complaints.  Careful what you
ask for.  Your requests may smell like demands.  Demands aren't well
received.
