[Sugar-devel] Language Control Panel

[Tony Anderson]

Hi Sebastian

We need to have releases of Sugar specific to particular platforms. So 
for a given release (0.110), we should do what is necessary to provide 
the same languages in each platform.

What is important to me about the Ubuntu Sugar release is that it the 
first one that appears targeted at users rather than developers. (SOAS 
is also, but doesn't have much utility in communities which do not have 
computers in the first place).
