No. no, no, it's not you who have to say more clearly, it's ME that have to
say more clearly. =) I totally agree with you! i18n is great. That is the
future. The direction. The godness. The mother. the nation. i18n is THE
only correct way. but,
But at the mean time, we sure could do some dirt hacking, ;) THIS is what
I really want to express. Though dirt, but a great FUN. =)
XteamLinux here, and the wrapper tech., (and Bluepoint guys?), are doing
these dirt hacking ;) I like them. =) Ok, so to speak. =) i18n is correct,
which doesn't mean others are wrong. =)
