In case you haven't been to the Arch site lately, they are making the switch to German as the primary language for Arch.


I hope this doesn't make my life harder.

Are they going to change the installer to German? I would also hate to run into German-only wikis!

I know I'm being selfish because there are probably plenty of people speaking less popular languages who use Arch, but I'm helpless enough! I don't need a language barrier to add to my computer obstacles.

Awesome, just did my daily pacman -Syu, and it automatically installed the new language packs and made the necessary changes to rc.conf.

I don't catch your drift...



And what did it do to your rc.conf, justsomedude?

Umm, I hope they add a English translation, because I can't read German.


EDIT:
LOL. I get your drift, finferflu... lol :D

Oh, I get it now. You're just kidding, right? Crap; is this really happening or not? :-/

I have a feeling I'm making a fool of myself either way...

It's just an April fools joke and you have been fooled :)

...sigh...

I just hope someone sweeps by, deletes this thread, lowers my bean count and erases everyone's memory who read the post, so that I don't have to be ashamed of myself. ](*,)

In my defense... It was 3-4 hours before April fools day for me when I saw it...

Don't worry, you were not the only one. I went to Arch's forum last night (03-31-08 ) and I didn't realized it was a joke, so I was happy there's a Spanish site (the point in my favor is that we don't celebrate April fools here and I'm rarely aware of these days) :)
