I think more people speak other languages than do speak American
English, but I understand where you are going with the original
suggestion. I sort of expanded on that idea as I personally think it's a
good one, and filed this bugzilla report:

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=100888

You can read my suggestion there, but I can't say how much traction it
will get for this release. It's more than likely too late for now.
