To me that is a big usability issue. I would not know how to let user's know which scripts are appropriate for their language. In pursuing some opportunities to translate BibleDesktop into other languages, I found that some languages can be written in more than one script. I already knew that was the case for simplified and traditional Chinese, but it seems that it is more common than that. So it is a many-to-many relationship between languages and scripts. -- DM _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
