I think it is a rather awful idea as far as translation is concerned. Entities often can not be used because the structure of other languages is different. I have another question: in some docs they use &kappname; instead of the programs actual name. That would help enormously with translation since there would be very many strings in the database that way. Would that be difficult to have more generally Erik
