Does it make any sense, here ?
My understanding (but I might be entirely wrong) was, up to now, that
when it comes at written languages, there is basically no point in
making a difference between Mandarin and Cantonese (or other
variants)....both being written in either the "Traditional" way or the
"Simplified".
So, roughly, I was understanding Mandarin and Cantonese as two
different spoken language...which happen to be written the same way.
Therefore, as software application is mostly about written languages,
it would not make sense to make a difference between Madarin and other
*spoken* languages.
But, maybe, I'm over-simplificating and you, Arne, know certainly much
more than me about this..:-)
