Google don't like Kurmandji

[Martin Owens]

Hello Amed,

To thread you replied to was about Google's summer of code, not it's
internal translation business. I've started a new thread with a new
title so others who want to discuss these ideas can do so without
confusing people interested in the Summer of Code project.

My own thoughts are below:

The problem is, google is under no responsibility to translate their
websites or proprietary software into anything they don't want to.

But, this doesn't mean that you can't use a different product and show
google that your willing to choose another supplier.

Your alternative is to develop a greasemonkey script or something
similar that translates their websites at least, on the fly for you.
Then you just have to tell all 25 million people to install Ubuntu.
