other serious problems with non-English tutorials

[Werner LEMBERG]

[cvs 2009-04-19]

Starting `emacs -Q' within a German locale, `C-h t' opens the tutorial
in a buffer named `TUTORIAL (German)'.  This is quite unfortunate for
two reasons.

  1. *All* translations have this wrong because they assume that the
     name is `TUTORIAL.XX', where `XX' is a two-letter country code
     (or `XX_YY' if language and country names differ).

  2. A language specific tutorial is now loaded into a buffer only; it
     is no longer associated with a real file.  This invalidates big
     parts of the translated tutorials; from a didactic point of view
     it's a bad idea also IMHO.

Who is doing such careless changes without informing the translators?
Since a new Emacs release will soon appear I ask to revert it,
applying the changes afterwards, together with proper announcements!
