The french version ws plagued with a number of bugs...
It was funny to play "Babelfish" with it (fr > en > fr) ;-)))

As a french speaker, I am *not*  disturbed by having to write scripts in
a sort of pig english [as I am doing now to explain myself ;->]

That's a part of scripting/programing for me...

I am sort of biased, as I studied _written_ english at school for years:

fortunately don't understand ;->], so they are already accustomed to
english...
