Hi! I agree about this one. I also don't know much about scripting, but I don't have problems using English versions of programs and OS, I'm really not falling on localized software. Sometimes when I sit in front of PC localized in Croatian, I have a feeling that someone is joking with me. But, since there are obviously people who like localized things, they can translate scripts by themselves. As I said before, I don't know much about scripting, but I know one thing. Scripts are like text files You can open them in Script Manager or a simple text editor as Notepad and carefully, line by line, change English phrases with the language of your choice. Of course, you need to type exact phrases as they are in your localization of program you use, it's not easy, but it's achieveable. So, why bother the script author to install localized version and do this for you if you can do it by yourselves? Since this versions of scripts are published I noticed that a lots of blind people in my country and a few neighbor countries started using Skype more often than in the past couple of years, and considering that, isn't it better to leave author to work on making scripts even better or to write Christmas wishes in the wrong time of year? ----- Original Message ----- From: "Jean Philippe" <[email protected]> To: "a list for discussing skype and its use with screen access software." <skypeenglish at emissives.com> Sent: Saturday, March 29, 2008 11:49 AM Subject: Re: [Skypeenglish] R: to all non-English Skype users
