Gustavo Noronha Silva: well, both countries will understand any translation, but I *really* don't like some translations people from Portugal do, I am sure they don't like some of ours too, If not much differs, it would be possible to do something similar to what Chinese does, they generate the different language versions from the same sources, with slices for the words that differ. -- \\// peter - http://www.softwolves.pp.se/ Statement concerning unsolicited e-mail according to Swedish law: http://www.softwolves.pp.se/peter/reklampost.html

Somewhat like UK English vs US English. French in France vs Quebec French is probably a better comparison though. If not much differs, it would be possible to do something similar to what Chinese does, they generate the different language versions from the same sources, with slices for the words that differ. In decreasing order of preference: - world peace (ok, at least a single translation, pt, for all Portuguese speakers) - a single translation that uses slices where a compromise just won't work. pt_br and pt_pt would be generated from a single source - two translations One problem with a split of any kind is which version would get displayed for users who request pt? -- James (Jay) Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED]

I consider this a bug against everyone who distributes browsers that lead users to make the wrong decision about what language preference to send. You may find the following link useful to understand why I feel that way: http://www.debian.org/intro/cn. Even better is to read the http spec. :) Although it shouldn't need to be done, the debian web site has resorted to creating links from en-us and en-gb to the en version of pages. It appears that the weekly news section does not create such links. This will be looked into. -- James (Jay) Treacy [EMAIL PROTECTED]
