i18n/l10n clarification

I'm happy to report that dozens of lists so far are taking
advantage of the new easier-to-use localization forms. For
example, this archive made a transition to German yesterday:

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]
http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/info.html

There's also a little confusion. Localization is per archive
and everyone viewing the archive sees the same localization.
So - for example - please do not request an English language
list to be localized to Japanese.

We really don't care who makes the localization request (either
list admin or an archive reader) but we do sanity check by hand
that the localization matches the language of the request.
Requests will usually be processed within 48 hours and only
affect new messages.

I'll update the FAQ soon with this information, but wanted to
get it out quickly for those who need it.

-Jeff
