Having read the latest news article and rereading parts of the
localization guide, it is not clear to me what action, if any, I need to
take.

My systems are US English only

/etc/portage/make.conf has
   LINGUAS="en"

/etc/local.gen has just comments plus
   en_US ISO-8859-1
   en_US.UTF-8 UTF-8

Should I add
   L10N="en-US"
to /etc/portage/make.conf ?

Should I run local-gen ?

Thanks
allan
