Bug#136069: apt: Apt should be prepared for internationalisation



Package: apt
Version: 0.5.4
Severity: normal

First off, I set this to "normal" and not "wishlist" because all
Debian package tools (dpkg, dselect) as of now are internationalised and
apt should be too ASAP

Long report:

Apt currently does not provided any kind of internationalisation support
for any of the tools (apt-cache, apt-cdrom, apt-get and apt-config), all
these programs should be internationalised with gettext. 

If they are not, users will have a strange mixture of languages when using
Debian-specific tools:

1.- dbootstrap (basic installation) is internationalised
2.- taksel is too
3.- dselect is too
4.- apt is *not*
5.- dpkg is internationalised.

	The only piece missing currently is apt.
