However, not everyone writes their own playbooks! I'm currently working on Ansible-based declarative configuration for a [french-speaking tilde server](https://tildegit.org/tilde-fr/infra) and i would like english speakers (and others) to be able to fork our server, and run our playbook in their own language! + +I don't think someone should have to learn ansible (or awk for that matter) to selfhost a server, and i also don't think they should have to learn a foreign language to understand what's happening on their machine. That's my usecase. + ## How do i use a default language as fallback? Short answer: Define the LANG environment variable properly. If you need to do it for one command only, then just type `LANG=fr` before your ansible command.
