Perhaps large english speaking population is reason.
Very true. I wonder how many among us are really comfortable
reading/typing/programming using our native language. I guess native
language support here has its own purpose (Desktop publishing comes to
my mind).
But for general purpose computing, is it really worth the effort at all
? I guess it would be a lot easier for people to learn english than
expecting a revamp of all applications to understand their native
language (atleast in India).
I wonder what would the word 'Gnome' sound like if translated to tamil
for instance :-P.
As a sidenote, our ability to communicate fluent english has been a plus
point for our dominance in IT.
Cheers,
