...And many people might not identify the Mexican flag as synonimous with Spanish (in fact, I had to think thrice about the flags until I got it - we usually see Spain's flag). Then again, many people will not recognize Spain's or Mexico's flag. BTW, I know some spaniards are amazed that we Mexicans identify with the Mexican flag - The concept of nationality is not shared among our countries. I suppose Amaya would say she's Spanish (as most people in Madrid do), but ask most non-Madrid (or non-Castilla?) Spanish people, and their nationality will vary. > We are geeks, I suggest using a geeky solution: let's use the LOCALE > values for the languages. Something like LANG=es and LANG=en.

I also don't like the flags solution. -- Gunnar Wolf - [EMAIL PROTECTED] - (+52-55)5623-0154 / 1451-2244 PGP key 1024D/8BB527AF 2001-10-23 Fingerprint: 0C79 D2D1 2C4E 9CE4 5973 F800 D80E F35A 8BB5 27AF _______________________________________________ Debconf-team mailing list [email protected] http://lists.debconf.org/mailman/listinfo/debconf-team
