@Manuel Actually i might support any language with a corresponding country which i might get in business with at some time...
Which unfortunately is not the case with "Esperanto" ;-)
What are you interested in: the countries, or the people who could get in business with you? Those aliens ares spread all over the world. I agree that they are quite few (more than some countries with a language quoted in Jaguar's system preferences/languages, though). But these people are very active, very fond of international web communication and computer use*, and they are so strange aliens, that some of them could buy an program just because it has an esperanto interface. And look: in a few minutes 3 of those intruders from outer space showed up right in the middle of our list!
Something simlilar with Catalan. All of them can use Spanish fluently., but they would like their language to be in the program. And there are probably more computers in Barcelona than in the rest of Spain, or in in a buch of south american spanish speaking countries together, for that matter.
Anyway, what my translation offer is good for french, spanish and catalan**, my three "mother languages" (dont be surprised: aliens are that way) ;-)))
Excuse us for the noise.
But discussing about the pertinence of languages for internationalizing programs may not be totallly irrelevant for at leat some of us.
And again congratulations and thank you for your stacks and the nice way you help people. I hope you'll get the whisky bottle!
Manuel
