Gimp
I'm all for free software and the Open Source movement.
I need a photo editor and I forgot my Photoshop install CD at home.
So I do what any normal geekette would do: download Gimp.
Except this Gimp is in Romanian! And not even real Romanian. Romanglish. Half of it is in Romanian and the other half in English. And I can't even read the help file because it wasn't installed during the installation process.
And why wasn't it installed?
Because everything was in Romanian!
@&^%#&^$#&^%#&^#%&^#%&^#%&
And I googled how to change the language and all I got back were scripting websites.
Hmph.

I understand your nerves, you're right, language support has always been a big problem for opensource and this lack makes the software uncomfortable and not professional.
If you still need that you could use knoppix
http://www.knoppix.org/
This is a liveCD general purpose distro, it contains GIMP and other useful/funny stuff and you don't have to install anything. It _is_ in plain English, no Romanian mixes, no Italian, promise :)
Baci :)
I don't need Knoppix.
I have Knoppix on a CD in my room.
I need a photoeditor to crop one of my pictures (long story).

And I'm at work so i'm a little leary of installing anything. If worst comes to worst I'll just install Gimp on my laptop. Then it'll be in English.
