Oh, and the pictures need to be "translatable" too. Sure: currently it's extremely painful to keep track of the modifications. And the last time this was discussed i've understood that for the time being the translators can only rely on cvs and the pgwww-commits mailing list because there were no resources for creating something more elaborate ( especially because there were no translations available ). Another thing that will need serious thinking is, IMHO, the mechanism used for selecting the language. I personally hate when a website decides the language based on something unintuitive and transparent like the default language in the browser or the IP location. I mean: it's much better to have a set of small flags or a combobox so that the user can easily select the desired language instead of digging into web browser 's configuration. --=20 Adrian Maier
