Does not the translator effect the whole string? I was thinking that the translator would (not) use the trailing-s version depending on if it was appropriate for the translation. I could certainly add more detail in comments; I've started to do that with strings I've added recently. FWIW, the FreqSpec code is dead, and will be removed at some point. At the same time, there's basically-equivalent code in Recurrence, now. -- ...jsled http://asynchronous.org/ - a=jsled; b=asynchronous.org; echo [EMAIL PROTECTED]
