That's right, that's why i suggest that English should always be on and
that's what the help info says on the side of the button.

If you want we can disable the possibility to disable English.

That's correct. Then it should be set to German and English.

The problem I see, is if we add a lot more languages, the form filler
won't work anymore.

An example:

The word "address" in polish is "adres". Of course this field should be
filled with an address, let's say "londonstreet 10".
But in german, the recipient of something is called "adressat". So this
field should be filled with a name, like "Andres".

But if we add polish first, the formFiller will fill in a field named 
"addressat"
with an address (because he found the polish "adres"), instead of
a name.

I'm sure there are better examples, but I hope you see what I mean.

What do you think?

cheers
floyd

    This time I have to disagree. I think that this is not an
improvement, as we might find pages with text in German but parameter
names in English; and the user would (with the best intentions) set
the language to German and then the formFiller would fill the form in
a wrong way.

    Another issue that I see is that maybe in a big application we
have pages developed by different persons, one of them likes
parameters in english and the other in german.

    But your contribution was not useless! I added the parameter names
in German to the SVN version of the formFiller. Thank you very much
for your continious contributions! =)

PS: Please read the private email I sent you the other day
