Actually, this is worse. There are some (or even many) trilingual people, including
myself.
The keyboard setting should be easily selectable (as in that other company's OS)
between
multiple choices
even for the same piece of software. I could easily recall instances where i would use
all
three languages i speak
(English, Russian, Hebrew) in the same e-mail. This has absolutely nothing to do with
UI;
Among technical
people (at least in Israel), English is the preferred UI setting.
In an ideal world (I have to admit that Win2000 multilingual edition comes very close
to
it) one would
expect that everything would be Unicode, all fonts will be Unicode or automatically
substituted
based on Unicode section of current letter, and keyboard bindings would be easily
switchable among all
languages.
