It's easy with a small set of users who are using a certain platform,
I could possibly do that at mandrivauser.de as well. But if I would
tell a user to join me on the German Mageia channel on IRC he would
not find me because he does not know that the channel is mageia-ger
instead of mageia-de.
We are not talking about some users and some IRC channels. We are
talking about the majority of users, we are talking about all IRC
channels, and we are talking about all language related sub-pages of
mageia.org. Same goes for all other language related things like in
i18n the file de.po has to be renamed to ger.po and so on.

We can not enforce this rule on one part of mageia.org and ignore it
in an other part.
