Starting `emacs -Q' within a German locale, `C-h t' opens the tutorial
in a buffer named `TUTORIAL (German)'. This is quite unfortunate for
two reasons.
1. *All* translations have this wrong because they assume that the
name is `TUTORIAL.XX', where `XX' is a two-letter country code
(or `XX_YY' if language and country names differ).
2. A language specific tutorial is now loaded into a buffer only; it
is no longer associated with a real file. This invalidates big
parts of the translated tutorials; from a didactic point of view
it's a bad idea also IMHO.
Who is doing such careless changes without informing the translators?
Since a new Emacs release will soon appear I ask to revert it,
applying the changes afterwards, together with proper announcements!
