I understand your concern, and I agree that it makes sense to check with native speakers of the languages involved. My worry was how to make it easy to compare, and I think Holgers image can help with that (I still need to fumble with it to see how best to use it). If I get something working, I will try share it with Debian friends in India to try get a feel for how it might be sensible to proceed more generally. Or maybe I will simply take it one locale at a time, get in touch with each, and have them help evaluate, just as you suggest :-) [ I am not subscribed: please cc me on replies ] - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
