Thanks a lot Doug Finally, I'll leave the defaults unchanged. The only thing I do is translating the Spanish equivalents for the keys representing symbols. Concerning the formality, I am writing properly but with some grade of informality, because the Spanish versions of services like Skype and Windows Live, use an informal language, in contrast with the formality on Windows earlier than 8 and MS Office. Altough the formality or informality in English is much more sutile for non-native speakers, in Spanish is obvious depending on if the user is treated of usted or tú. By the way, I'm making the translation treating the user of tú, as Skype does.

Asunto: Re: [Skypeenglish] question on translating Skype scripts help My preferences on Skype script localization, off the top of my head and with just about zero forethought :-) : 1. Try to keep text similar in meaning to what I said, including things like level of formality / properness. 2. Preserve what functionality you can across the language change. For this case, that means if you need to change default keystrokes, you can do so with my blessing. Btw, you can distribute skype.ini or change the skype.jss line that creates the default key mapping in that file - somewhere around line 5155 (val = "[") in the latest script release I think. 3. Indicate in source files who translated them while leaving other attributions as they are.

Changing this default on the localized version is a good idea. Changing it to the key that on US layouts represents equal sign would be optimal as is apostrophe on international Spanish and backslash on Latin American. As this is not on the JSM, I should study if I have to change this using the Keyboard Manager or editing the JKM inside Script Manager. Obviously it can be modified on the Verbosity Options dialog, but it is for the user and I think about editing the default behavior. Last, but not least, it is necessary to know what Doug thinks about a change like this on the localized version. If he don't agrees with a change like this, I'll not do that.

Asunto: Re: [Skypeenglish] question on translating Skype scripts help Hey Fernando, not Doug here but I think I got your issues. What I recommend you to do is to use a different key for the Skype command key, for example f1, instead of keeping the default key. This is because in some latin american keyboards, it's the same key used for accent. Bye!
