Subject: [PATCH] bugreport: Add hint to answer questionnaire in English
Date: Fri,  3 Sep 2021 18:58:24 +0700	[thread overview]
Message-ID: <20210903115823.622715-1-bagasdotme@gmail.com> (raw)

Depending on system locale, git bugreport may launch the localized
bug report questionnaire (and thus users respond it in their native
language). However, many Git support forums (including
git@vger.kernel.org) expects bug reports written in English.

Add a hint that answering the questionnaire in English will increase
chances for bug reports to be responded.

 In [1], Junio suggests to add hint for filling in bug report answers
 in English. That stems from my responses to Krzysztof Żelechowski's bug
 report [2], which advise him to re-submit the report in English.
