will this be a part of the canonical version soon? maybe it isn't as
important as 64bit support or something else, but it will be strange
when the patches from different versions will show up different - by
comments it is relatively harmless, but when an object/message called
"après" or "verzögerung" is there, the patch will work only on one
version.
That's ultimately up to Miller, but this is a good first step. If it
works fine, then its much more likely to be included. This is a quick
hack, there is a probably a better way to do it, if anyone wants to
try.
Personally, I think the best implementation of this would be a
[comment] object with i18n support, so that all of the comments could
be internationalized, but the patches would remain the same.
