At Sugar Labs / OLPC we have a large Spanish language user base across a number of countries and the consensus choice among our customers has been to *not* split into country-specific variants of Spanish. I am curious what words you have identified that you would translate differently? Computer software UI strings are not generally that rich in the sorts of cultural and cuisine terms that are a frequent source of regional variation in many languages (including Spanish). I firmly believe in linguistic self-determination, but I am not sure how different the translations of computer terms would be between es and es-MX, although I would be very interested in learning more. cjl _______________________________________________ gnome-i18n mailing list gnome-i18n@gnome.org http://mail.gnome.org/mailman/listinfo/gnome-i18n
