Thanks. As also discussed on IRC I'm going to get back to you on this :) >> English is a second or third language for most people using Launchpad > > Really "most"? (May well be true, certainly many.) My ham-fisted research (i.e. counting the number of page request from countries that have !=English as their primary language) showed the majority of page requests as coming from non-primarily-English speaking countries. Cleary, that's not the same as saying that "English is a second of third language for most people using Launchpad"; I'll correct that. -- Matthew Revell -- https://launchpad.net/~matthew.revell Launchpad.net -- cross-project collaboration and hosting _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev Post to : launchpad-dev@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~launchpad-dev More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
