Re: does cisco IOS only in English or ????

This is actually interesting if you compare it to normal OS's. There are
probably miles and miles of prompts, error messages, verification messages,
commands and the like and the average user OS. In comparison, I'd be
extremely surprised if everything concerning user input amounted to more
than 5MB of data. This is probably the one time where IOS being text based
actually comes in handy. In short it would probably pretty easy to
translate IOS to the popular languages if the all mighty cisco decided to.
