  • You would be surprised that numbers of FOSS project from East Asia not having updated information/license/documentation in English.

    Especially Japanese one, it’s one of the hardest language that even if people had a middle level certification like JLPT N3, they might still not be able to translate formal document properly.

    On other hand, FOSS project from Southeast Asia or South Asia always keeps their English documentation/license/info up to date.






  • The default toolbox placement is should be conform with other design software.

    Sure, people can figure it out once they tried it, but majority of them will move to another software that has familiar experience out of the box.

    When people asking me to install GIMP, I always change it to this layout, making it more familiar to another software like Inkscape, Krita, Affinity suites, Photoshop (and other Adobe software), etc.

    Let’s remember that language is diverse and even English itself is different between area.

    If Indian English or Singaporean English speaker force every English speaker to adhere to their standard, everyone would be mad.
