Re: [Axiom-developer] size issue with noweb

[Jean-Christophe Helary]

Tim,

On a related note, I was wondering if such self documenting processes  
would not make the translation/localization a order of magnitude more  
difficult ?

I have not quit the idea of helping with localizing Axiom to French  
and I have been looking for ways to do that cleanly, but, just like  
for emacs I found the highest barrier to localization is the fact  
that the code and the documentation are pretty much one and the same  
in literate programming. Or Am I misunderstanding something ?

Regards,
Jean-Christophe Helary
