Thank you for the explanatory answer.

Localization seems like a two-edged sword. Wouldn't it cause a spilt in the community when it comes to tutorials and documentation? Especially if the community is small.

In Excel I repeatedly faced the problem that the formula "programming" language was my own language and not English, which meant that all English Excel formulas I found had to be translated. In my opinion the benefit of writing my native language does not outweigh the problems of constantly translating formulas.

What are your thoughts on this problem? Have you thought of any ways to prevent such problems?

That's what contributors are for. OSS has always been dependent on localization support from contributors, especially for documentation.

I understand what you mean, but I don't think you understand my point.

I am not thinking about the official documentation of the language. Normally translating the explanations in the official documentation only requires contributers.

However when someone makes a tutorial series or similar, that series will normally only be limited to one language because they will write the actual code itself in their language.

I think this would split an already small community.
