You mean, in lines of code? I very much doubt that. A lot of software gets written, in particular for web servers, that is only German, around here. Nobody thinks this is wrong, since the audience is expected to speak German, anyway. I think all the shell scripts that people write every day account for more lines of code than operating systems, office software, server applications, web frameworks combined. And these one-time use pieces of software are certainly not internationalized - not even in companies that have a policy that all software must support i18n. If you want examples, here are some: http://www.heise.de/ct/foren/ (web forum) http://arztsuche.spiegel.de/ (medical directory) http://portal.mytum.de/termine/index_html (university calendar - the software itself is bilingual; the content is not at all) etc. Regards, Martin -- http://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
