Cultural issues can be sensitive and should be decided by the NL groups themselves. The INGOTs is a much smaller project than OO yet we provide support for Br-pt and Pt-pt - although more has been done with Br-pt simply because we have a volunteer. We have even the possibility for US and UK English in the general infrastructure and we will provide support for any other language if requested. > > Thanks, > khirano > -- Ian Ofqual Accredited IT Qualifications (The Schools ITQ) www.theINGOTs.org +44 (0)1827 305940 The Learning Machine Limited, Reg Office, 36 Ashby Road, Tamworth, Staffordshire, B79 8AQ.
