Maybe, but you probably haven't seen Korean, Polish or Japanese either...
I cannot honestly be interested in internationalisation of software, without
taking the opportunities Mule gives me. I confess that Mule is sometimes
irritating, and some days more than others :-), but I still prefer to live
with the irritation, and contribute in some way to get the problem corrected.
Not that I have much personal need for international characters, besides
French. But I really think people should be entitled, in the long run, in
writing at least their own name using the appropriate script, in all cases.
I also like naming people using the proper script when writing to them or
speaking about them to others, it looks like elementary politeness to me.
