Not really, some days you just complain about every small thing :)

Then I guess there's at least two of us on this list who speak Finnish
and I remember seeing even a third person here with a Finnish name -
hieno juttu! I'm rather used to see computer terms in Finnish on my
screen, because I've been using a Finnish language version of Windows
for years.

But it's not only Finnish and English on my screen at present. There's a
bug in Ubuntu which causes some menus and other elements to be in
Swedish in my installation. Some other people have noticed this too.
This is reported as a bug (3405). For example in Evolution the Outbox is
named Utkorg and Sent is Sickat. Swedish is a nice language, but having
e-mail folders in three different languages feels a little funny. When I
install packages with Synaptic, the ongoing process of installation (the
black squearious thing with a lot of text lines going by) is to large
part in Swedish. And there are others too. What about you, is it the
same with your desktop?
