Well, no, that wasn't my point... the localized versions have always
worked.  However, if you have a Reminder file that reads:

	 REM mercredi 1 avril MSG Whatever...

and you copy it over to an installation that uses an English-compiled
"remind", it will fail whereas:

         REM Wednesday 1 April MSG Whatever...

works on all Reminds, no matter what language they are compiled to use.

Fair enough.
