Hi David Obviously It's my privilege to catch that ball. I'm glad to give back something to the wonderful Simile project.
I'm willing to work with the translation into Spanish, I will do es-co (Spanish for Colombia) my native language. But I think it will fit for must Spanish purposes or can be easily localized for a particular country. You should note that there is no Spanish as a whole (Sorry Cervantes and García Márquez). Could you please point me to the particular file/library where can I start to work? I hope that the whole Simile project share a common repository for i18n that is shared / re purposed for any current or future project. Every new project will require only marginal translation efforts. ++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++ EXTRA COMMENTS / ANECDOTES /FUN I have worked a lot (since 1984) in in the yellow pages industry where accuracy of therm is vital for business, and I can testify that even within in Colombia alone, the main index of the book was different from region to region, - same word changes of meaning, - a word here can be a bad word there, - words/terms only exist in some regions. I lived in Chile for two years working for a large Spanish multinational in the yellow pages business and I interacted with people form different hispanic countries. Every country/region shaped Spanish to its own needs and realities. Even within the same company we have various terms for the same thing FOR SPANISH SPEAKERS IN THE LIST ¿What does this sentence/words mean for you? - "El gallo vino en la liebre pòr los cabros chicos" (cl excluded) - "Chifa" (pe excluded) - "Tinto" On Feb 6, 2008 9:52 AM, David Huynh <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > That's a "bug" in Exhibit itself.
