That you can be sure of!  If there is a way to support country codes
though, that would be great.  As any English speaker outside USA will
tell you <grin>, there's many different versions of English.  The
differences are sometimes subtle, sometimes subtle as a sledgehammer,
but either way people can be quite sensitive to them.

Tim

At the moment you can send bugs or improvements to the list or to Mario Carrera (the one who answered prior to me). If you are interested in knowing which files are being used for text strings, they are located in plain text files named "text_lg.properties" (where lg stands for the language code, e.g. en for English) under the root folder of every gvSIG extension.
