Hi Cameron,

As quoted from Cameron Shorter <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>:

But we always have.  Look at the I18N demo, a user can dynamically
switch between the supported languages.

I don't understand; during the meeting on July 24th we wrote this about it:

  11:11 <CameronShorter>
  I assume that you would also want other languages (Eg French) to fall
  back to the default (English)

  11:12 <gjvoosten>
  That is another option. Then newly added messages to the default
  language would still be available in other languages without having to
  add them explicitly; except they would be in English obviously.

  11:12 <CameronShorter>
  right.

  11:13 <gjvoosten>
  What I did before was simply copy all new messages to the other
  languages and add an XML comment <!-- TODO: translate --> to them.
  The TODO's show up in my task list in Eclipse, so an easy reminder there.

  11:14 <CameronShorter>
  The person writing the widget, and the person doing the translation
  will usually be different. So there will always be widgets without
  translations for certain languages.
  So we should have a fallback to English.

  11:14 <gjvoosten>
  That would be most convenient.

It's not about *my* need for it.

> I assume that the config file should specify a language list:

What would the benefit of that be?  Why not just lang=nl-BE and have
MapBuilder take care of the rest?
