It is interesting how the same companies that complain how nation states are forcing Balkanization of the Internet (by propping up local rivals to SV efforts) are the same people who are doing their own Balkanization in the name of easy and quick growth.

I'd think a programming language is the last place you'd need i18n and l10n. I know documentation isn't sexy but that's where we should focus our efforts. I assume Google translate and tools like that will get us maybe 80% there but there is still a lot of work involved.

All in all, looking at https://raw.githubusercontent.com/echeran/clj-thamil/master/... I am cautiously supportive of the effort but we should still strive to maintain uniformity where possible.
