Hi, thanks for your reply Mr. Sapiro. I had already tried this:
######### CODE ###########
def _(s):
return s
add_language('en', _('English (USA)'), 'iso-8859-1')
del _
######### CODE ############
as I had found this in some mailing list archive. This does not seem
to work. Neither does this:
add_language('en', 'English (USA)', 'iso-8859-15', 'ltr')
Which I also tried.
Still stumped.
Thanks,
Mordur Ingolfsson
