This is bad because ikiwiki is thus difficult to spread for non-english users. + +I mean that, for instance in CGI.pm, line like: + +`my @buttons=("Save Page", "Preview", "Cancel");` + +should be written as + +`my @buttons=(gettext("Save Page"), gettext("Preview"), gettext("Cancel"));` + +In standards templates things seems wrongly written too.
