Re: [Debconf-team] english is spoken elsewhere than just .uk/.us, and spanish is not .mx only as well
Hi there!
My taste is not hurt or anything, but... I tend to agree.

In Spain there are several official languages, none of the speakers
identify themselves with the Spanish flag, not to speak of South
American Spanish/Castilian speakers, which all speak "the same language"
(sort of) and have so many different flags.
We are geeks, I suggest using a geeky solution: let's use the LOCALE
values for the languages. Something like LANG=es and LANG=en. That
should satisfy all.
Thank you for addressing this issue.
