I don't have time to do much learning of PERL,(I am short on time full stop) but I will look for people who speak Spanish (I do, and spend a bit of my time working with a spanish-language non-profit) and have a mac, and possibly arabic - I know of at least two arabic-speaking mac users, one of whom _may_ be able to find students keen to work on this... I speak french and may be able to convince some of my french fink-using colleagues to help a bit. I speak poor italian and write it worse, and the same for Japanese, but there might be japanese speakers interested too - Again, I'll ask. >> * Are fink info files defined to use a specific character set?
