If I paid for the system I would have a list of maybe 50 different things that must be changed to make the system good from a swedish perspective... As it happens it is open source.
So far, as far as I can tell, the responsibility to make the system conform to local standards and regulations has been that of the partners in a majority of the cases. = loooots of work. I am pretty sure that a french localization module could include a routine that removes the button or changes the functionality of the button. And if the button is bad from a wider than french perspective it should be even easier to find someone who can do it. I do not disagree with you entirely :) Not at all. I just think a different approach could be good. If the french forum had discussed how to remove the button via code, rather than pointing fingers, I am guessing the problem had been solved since long.
