Not at all. If the need arises, you just translate the whole thing. Contrary to popular belief, this is a quick and easy thing to do. So YAGNI applies, and even if you find that you do need it, you may still have won on the balance! As the time saved by using your native language just might outweigh the time spent translating. - Anders -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
