I should've thought better before my original posting because this subject touches deep fibers in people. I am pretty aware that all italian dialects are proper languages that predate standard italian. They are very much alive in basically every city in Italy. The issue is none of these languages is actually taught in schools anymore(?) and it's usually the older people that use them most. I have no objection to any of them being added to OpenOffice, it's just that many of the computer related terms (open file, print, etc) are unlikely to change with respect to the "official" italian. Yes, many people argue these languages are a cultural value and I am OK with them being preserved. Pedro. FWIW, .. No I am not from northern Italy.
