Thats' really cool! However, I don't see how it makes a difference to things like threads. Clearly you can't have a thread where one person is speaking in persian and another in english. So I'd expect to see whole threads in arabic, or whole threads in urdu, or whole threads in english. Anyway... it made me grumpy. -- Nic Ferrier http://www.tapsellferrier.co.uk for all your tapsell ferrier needs - Sent via the backstage.bbc.co.uk discussion group.
