Please DON'T do that! In some languages, like Serbian or Romanian, substantives do decline, have genders and may change form according to context. Thus I suggest doing the right thing and replace strings only in the original string properly and allow translators to decide what's best for their language. -- Regards, EddyP ============================================= "Imagination is more important than knowledge" A.Einstein -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
