It might even be a bad idea to have them use translated software as 1) such a translation will be incomplete and suboptimal by definition, and 2) this hinders their progress in English. A good way to learn English is to use technology in English. I think this is a huge part in all the young Germans etc. suddenly speaking English very, very good. Why this can't happen in Tanzania as well, the devil knows. I started to use a computer many years before my age consisted of two digits. Software in Swedish were unheard of the thought never crossed anyones mind. Nonetheless I never had any problems - except for the "King's Quest", "Space Quest" and such games which tought me the unidiomatic English of "open door", "get dagger", etc. [1] If an 8-year-old can do that, surely any young adult who is learning how to operate *Emacs* can do it! [1] Perhaps the Russian guys have been playing those games as well :) -- underground experts united http://user.it.uu.se/~embe8573
