In all fairness, I don't think the suggestion ever was that *everything* should be translated into *every* language. If that were to happen, global unemployment would be eradicated in the bargain. But of course it is totally unrealistic. Problem is, even translating key individual elements is posing a challenge. And no matter how successful that effort would be, it would never be complete. People who would rely on it would always be at a huge disadvantage no matter what. No, people will have to learn English. Plain and simple. And they are, so no worries :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
