4. For each printk() statement in the source {
Write down the string printed.
("The foo %s failed with status %d")
Write down translations to the needed (human) languages
(Swedish: "Foo 'namn' misslyckades med status 'siffra'",
French : "Le foo «nom» a manqué avec l'état «numéro»",
German : ...)
}
Distribute these strings in a text file alphabetically sorted
after the english version.
The admin that doesn't understand a given message can then look it
up in this very specialised dictonary.
Advantage: No kernel modification. Thus transparent to "english
enabled" admins.
Disadvantage: ... anyone?
Solution 4 obviously works on Kurts 3 types of strings...
By not actually "dubbing" the kernel we would increase
the speed at which an admin learns English.
btw: I do not offer to iplement my solution... translations are not
fun.
