I ment that now you can use localised app's already if you have them baked
into the application itself (look at NetPenguin for instance), handling them
inside the OS is easier for the end-user. Wasn't aware of the effords being
done on a alternative locale system yet. :D

Didn't hear anything 'till now about a localization kit being developed
already for Haiku, thought that was scheduled for past R1, my fault there.
Thanks for clearing this up a bit. ;)
