Indeed.   Sadly, I had not looked at the slides and made an

I have yet to achieve i18n enlightenment, despite looking at
probably thousands of slides over the years (and making several
hundred).  But, like other journeys, this one probably starts
with a single step... or 197 slides.  I, too, look forward to
the presentation.
