for me, the *most critical* program is the installer, Anaconda.

Long time ago http://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=16398
I did an adaptation/retranslation of the very very bad, in one word -garbage-,
anaconda spanish .po file. But my changes was not accepted. Maybe
they thought that mine was worse and their "professional" translator was....
professional ;-)

_First impression_ for a new LiNUX user *must* be good. I prefer
an original English than a bad and not understandable Spanish(Spain) translation.

I believe that Anaconda should be first project with good documentacion for
foreign languages.

-thanks-
