Localisation issues as paper cuts

 

Hey Ninjas,

I've updated the definition of a paper cut on
AskUbuntu<http://askubuntu.com/questions/1006/what-is-a-paper-cut> to
include a point in the *What is not a paper cut* passage regarding
localisation issues. It reads:

*Localisation issues are not paper cuts. For a bug to be a paper cut, it
must affect the majority of average users and localisation issues will only
affect users in that locale.*
*
*
A caveat to that reads:

*Issues affecting any English text, such as badly worded app descriptions
in the Software Centre, can be considered valid paper cuts since the
English text string are used as the baseline for all localisations. If the
English is wrong, then the translation will be wrong.*
*
*
Does anyone have any issues with this?

Thanks,
Chris
