Void Main on Google!

Postby Ice9 » Mon Mar 03, 2003 4:24 pm

I just did a Google search on synaptic + Red Hat for a news item I wrote and guess what?
Void Main's tip on apt-get for Red Hat came out on top :D
Here's a screenie :)

If you have Google in Dutch, why not Mozilla and KDE with it?

I assume you're asking why Mozilla and KDE are in English? :)
Explanation is fairly simple, all the software that I use is in English since I think English is the closest we can get to a universally spoken language.
Plus, when I first entered http://www.google.com I was automatically re-directed to http://www.google.be and the page displayed in Dutch.
I didn't even notice that right away and never bothered to try and change it afterwards.

85% of the stuff you research on the web is in English and quite frankly when you talk to people using 5-6 different languages almost every day english is your best alternative :D
unless you wanna learn Swedish, German and Spanish :wink:

Why not translate them then, because im not, and there might not be any kde developers that speak dutch, so they dont care. Its a Do It Yourself world in Open Source.
