Hi Xabier, I am not sure what you mean. I can do a find and replace to change those instances if we agree that is what we want. > I found a couple of Languages that share these nuances, for example: > Croatian Lang. -> http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/?lang=hr > Magyar Lang. -> http://audacity.sourceforge.net/about/?lang=hu I looked at various Basque/Croatian/Hungarian translations on Wikipedia e.g.: http://hu.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microsoft_Windows . It does seem that generally, hyphens are used if it is necessary to add characters to the end of the proper name. So I get the impression we should do that.
