------- Additional comments from [email protected] Thu Jul 9 03:15:37 +0000 2009 ------- Hi bluedwarf, Thank you for the comment. As my last comment said, your work will make it perfect for Asian, include China. So please go ahead, thank you. About "first name" and "last name", we know they means "given name" and "family name" for westerns. And dictionary also translate them to "名" and "姓". But we consider this is a convention for westerns. Because they always put given name at the beginning of full name, so "first name" is "given name" and vise versa. But in China, "family name" first, so "first name" and "last name" are not strictly used as "given name" and "family name". We know "first name" is "given name", and the dictionary also says so, but most of Chinese don't speak English, and we usually consider that's a rule for westerns. More and more people in China place the "family name" first as English name. Include some formal press. Like "Chinese president Hu jintao" in CRI(China Radio International). So people tend to treat "first name" literally. western eople can hear explain like this in China: "For Chinese people, the first name is Family name and the last name is given name, this different from your western people." :-) Conclusion: This enhancement is a perfect solution, what I worried about was the problem may arise. and Noryuki has told me on worry. So please get Chinese build involved. :-) Thanks, --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
