Isn't that what the language selection is for? Also please let's get the facts straight, the Kurdish terrorist organisation PKK has been responsible for the murder of 10s of thousands of people in southeast Turkey since the eighties. I live in Istanbul which has the highest number of Kurdish citizens in Turkey, I never saw any human rights violations against them, they just have to suffer the same traffic we all do...Or are you conveniently putting the Iraqis gassing of their Kurdish citizens on Turkey? Before ranting about such questionable and mostly fabricated human rights violations, please remember that without the Turkish army protecting its southerneast border, you would have the Al Qaeda troops walking straight into Europe. I apologise to all others who may be bored by this discussion, but having lived first hand through Kurdish PKK terrorism until recently, I feel that what needs to be a technical issue is being pulled towards a political platform. It's easy for you guys to sit over there and try to pass judgement although after the unfortunate events of 9/11 people in the US are beginning to get a feel for it. My technical arguement is based on the fact that unlike Switzerland where there are 3 official languages used in their cantons, Turkey is one united country with one official language, the decimal and thousands seperators are used as in most of Europe, thus there needs to be one locale. Users can then choose any language they want from the language section. --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
