I agree with Joachen,

The internationalization is extreemly important.  In the next 2-4 years
there will be more non-english speaker on the net than english ones.  We
always consider internationalizaton in any product we buy.  I am sad to
hear that you are not considering this important issue.  It just reminds
me of the people that decided on ASCII.  They never imagined any other
language than english will be used with computers.  I ask all of the
people on Zope-PTK, Zope-dev, and Zope to consider internationlization
as a major feature of Zope and the Portal toolkit.  The effort spent today
is a lot smaller compared to trying to look at this issue a year from now,
and have to re-write tons of unwritten apps.

My two cents..
