I was wondering if it still is necessary with the latest intltool to set LANG=en_US when building redhat-artwork my lang: LANG=nl_NL.UTF-8 I know there is a simple workaround :p but I was just wondering if the protection in the make script was still necessary. I noticed that only the gdm dir has this protection.
