 2 The User's View
 *****************
 
    Nowadays, when users log into a computer, they usually find that all
 their programs show messages in their native language - at least for
 users of languages with an active free software community, like French
 or German; to a lesser extent for languages with a smaller
 participation in free software and the GNU project, like Hindi and
 Filipino.
 
    How does this work?  How can the user influence the language that is
 used by the programs?  This chapter will answer it.
