Yes! At least for netbase packages prior to v2.0. These versions had
nls support (only for french). I removed the nls support from netbase
because it's (currently) not compatible with the ELF libraries. I'll
add it again if it works with the recent ELF libraries and if the
nls data files are up to date.


Thanks,

Peter
