Its all possible. My suggestion to this request is: a) Create a feature request on bugs.scribus.net b) Create a wiki page on wiki.scribus.net and work through the types of language formats possible. With some user input and some input from the devs, we can work out a solution for this. Craig -------------- next part -------------- A non-text attachment was scrubbed...
