2 The User’s View
*****************
Nowadays, when users log into a computer, they usually find that all
their programs show messages in their native language – at least for
users of languages with an active free software community, like French
or German; to a lesser extent for languages with a smaller participation
in free software and the GNU project, like Hindi and Filipino.
How does this work? How can the user influence the language that is
used by the programs? This chapter will answer it.
