The fact that Legacy has been working, as you affirm, "for years" on an
international version gives me the opposite impression.: that they are not
really devoting as much time to it as you might think; or else,
incorporating foreign languages is proving to be a daunting task.
I've finished my family history in English with no problem because English
is a first language for all the relatives I've sent it to. It is proving
much more difficult to generate decent reports for my wife's family (ten
generations dating back to the 17th-century). Although I have the option to
change the "Wording" on ancestor and descendant reports, for example, the
result is a "Spanglish" that still needs a lot of word-processor work to
read well. Too much, in fact.
Spanish is one of the major languages of the world (2nd tongue in the U.S.)
and yet there is not a single decent genealogy program in Spanish. PAF talks
about a multi-language version, but it doesn't incude Spanish. I should
think that Legacy would fill a big gap here, especially with the
rapidly-growing number of Spanish Americans. At least it could expand
"Customize" to give us more bi-lingual control.
(I may be off-subject because I am really not talking abut web pages; but I
imagine that the relation is close enough).

for years now. What I find amazing is that the developers are so willing
to spend so much time on that when the basic English language version
could use so much improvement in the area of output...
