I'm not sure how much extra work it would be to provide this option, but my naive impression is that it wouldn't be too big a deal if starting from scratch anyway? Anyway I imagine this question is best answered by non-native English speakers or perhaps people who have an idea of how much native language menu text etc would improve J's attractiveness in non-English speaking regions (given that those who would most benefit from such menus probably aren't reading this thread!). > 2. if yes, should it be implemented with gnu gettext or home-brew > scheme? I have no experience here but it would seem sensible to use an established convention unless there are good reasons not to? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- For information about J forums see http://www.jsoftware.com/forums.htm
