It's a major issue. In here, we're having a serious programmer shortage. One of the coolest things about Lazarus is that it could allow us to hire people that comes from a Windows/Delphi background and integrate them into our Whatever/Linux enviroment. The problem is that not everyone is capable of writing correct (in terms of grammar and spelling) english code documentation. I have nearly 600k lines of Delphi code that was extensively documented in Spanish. I don't want to rewrite the whole documentation just because of a bug! _______________________________________________ fpc-pascal maillist - fpc-pascal@lists.freepascal.org http://lists.freepascal.org/mailman/listinfo/fpc-pascal
