IMHO, such a fallback is really beneficial for usability, while allow users to use translated strings as well. As for the ugliness, I think appending a "(Yes)", "(No)", "(Yes, I am aware that this is a very bad idea)" to the original string without exposing them to .po files makes them explicit, and hence less ugly. > Daniel -- Regards, Deng Xiyue, a.k.a. manphiz -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
