Diatheke is "no longer supported." Thus, how it might (or might not) do it, is irrelevant. > How all that fits together, and how SWORD-using apps should fit it all > together, is potentially fairly complex and so IMO worth documenting.

I think that should be left up to every app to choose (or user, if the app wants to be that configurable). You might want those all to work different, I want every window I open to use my English-language UI and English locale verse parsing. Even when I'm reading my GNT, I'd rather use English to enter them in - and that's because my keyboard is set to English for input. But I might feel differently from Matthew, Karl or Troy. So that's something, I believe, each app should very much deal with on its own. Thus, having the application tell the library which locale to use - not the other way around - is definitely the proper way to handle it. --Greg _______________________________________________ sword-devel mailing list: sword-devel@crosswire.org http://www.crosswire.org/mailman/listinfo/sword-devel Instructions to unsubscribe/change your settings at above page
