Who would benefit if I ask a question about NSVerdndericheAnsammlung,

Well, we have a few german-speakers around here, but I don't
think any of them work in DTS. I'm about 20 years out of
practice, myself.

There have been attempts to (say) offer the C language with
German, Spanish and Japanese keywords, but these efforts have
tended to fade out for lack of interest.
There are probably a lot of other things to be done before, e.g.
a Developer can pronounce his name correctly on this list (see
above) ;-)
Then, I think, it would be more important to translate the docs.
To use a method you don't have to know what the name means (even
if it is helpful); you have to know what the method does. This
requires a good understanding of the language the doc is written
in, not the language the names of the methods are from.
This would be probably impossible to be done as I can't guess a
professional programmer would wait more than a week to get a
local translation of a new Inside Mac OS X. He would prefer the
english one instead.
Viel Vergnuegen,
Markus
