Clearly we have a great range of international English expertise on this group: the thought of a collaborative dictionary of phraseology comes to mind. It would be very useful for those like me who often have to work in another English dialect: what to say, what not to say.
Many years ago I was slightly involved in a European collaborative project to research how software could be designed for easy localisation, and there are a great many more pitfalls than one might imagine.
