lBSD_de - a german localization FreeBSD Project

Axel Gruner writes "A german BSD-Community, namely BSDForen.de, has officially anounced their new project "lBSD_de". "lBSD_de" is a modification of the FreeBSD 5.0-RELEASE Operating System to better fit the needs of German speaking users.
Another goal of the project is developing new features. Of course, whatever new there is will be passed to the FreeBSD-Developers to either implement it or drop it. That way, avoiding two FreeBSDs each with different features is guaranteed.
For further information, visit the project's homepage at http://www.lbsdde.de."

    I think it will be translation of "sysinstall" and using german keymap as the standard. It will also translate configfiles comments, and so on. I think tje project will not translate the whole system, like user "root" will be NOT the german "Wurzel" ;).
    Also error messages will stay in english.
