Localization Ideas

[seadog at sealabs.net]

Hello,
	I have some suggestions to improve localization in ubuntu. Here in
Greece we have some not so common preferences about our desktop.
Although we like to be able to read, write in greek, display the time in
european format, we prefer a4 paper size most of us don't prefer greek
speaking menus. Because our language it's not Latin based, the
terminology is *completly* different from english and we have some
difficult time trying to understand unsuccessfull tanslations in greek.
So we generally prefer to see messages in the original, english speeking
format. This problem may sound too much but believe me it's really a
problem.

	Other similar problems may arise with other languages. What I am
suggesting is to create some fancy menu - like localeconf of debian - to
make any special selections on locale vars like LC_MESSAGES. This should
happen from the installer write after the "keyboard choose" menu.

Please consider the idea and email me with suggestions and remarks.

thanks in advance
g.l.
