Dear Troy, This is interesting - are these the only strings which need translation? I guess once I am finished with BD, I will move on to here with the Farsi translation.
Would the programme cope with UTF8 RtoL at the string level - you remember there is a problem with the actual text rendering - something you said you would address once school pressures cease :-) Peter -------- Original-Nachricht -------- Datum: Mon, 08 Jan 2007 12:09:27 -0700 Von: "Troy A.
