Amanda, Apparently we see two different pictures. I don’t appreciate it, but I have no problems with your position; you like to see what you want to see. I don't know Armenian either, but I hope some of the languages you can correlate to. I know Russian and my browser has no Cyrillic font, but I can assure you I see very much Russian text. HOW??? And forget about internationalization, check some other features of server-side content presentation. And please, get some information about XSLT, CSS, server-side processing, etc. before making very strong and very wrong conclusions.
