Hello Jean/Tom A user in Europe would normally set their locale to the country for LO, so there should be no problem. The LO I am using for screen shots was set US. So it had me a little puzzled until my brain woke up.
Is this mentioned in the setting up guide? Braai is short for braaivleis. An Afrikaans word meaning cooking meat using fire. After living in south Africa for many years I am used to using braai, which is much better sounding than barbecue.
