Actually, not only did =C3=86var not have a problem with "staging area"= , but he told you this argument about i18n/l10n didn't make sense at all, and you agreed: http://article.gmane.org/gmane.comp.version-control.git/197371 In fact, all non-native speakers said they liked the term "staging area", like everybody else. So please enlighten us, which non-native speakers had a problem from the translation point of view, and why does it matter? --=20 =46elipe Contreras
