Certainly I'm all for anything that would manage to translate the text in the package, be it DDTP or individual volunteers; the question, in some larger sense, is whether there is a way to have the translations available in some easily selectable format. I suppose that simply having multiple text/index files with a language designation as part of the filename would work, though it feels... ugly. But perhaps that's an extension for the fortune program itself, at some point, to support, similar to man's breakdown... -- Joel Baker <fenton@debian.org>
