Galician language: Ending exclamation mark is compulsory, initial one not, despite it is recommended on situations where it's absence may lead to confusion about the start of the interrogative phrase; you know, germanic langs like english have particles that mark the start of the phrase, in galician, portuguese, and spanish not, there are interrogative particles, and commonly the position of the verb and subject are reversed, going in this case first the verb, but this is not compulsory. Recent tendency among translators is not to use the inverted check. I do not know the rule for catalan and llingua astur; for this last one, most possibly the rule is the same as spanish one. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Create and Deploy Rich Internet Apps outside the browser with Adobe(R)AIR(TM) software.
