Hans, thank you for your (as always) minimal response time. I had a quick glance at the mag, and two thoughts came to my mind: - Of course, I want to use a different seperator combination than available with the predefined modes. Others will have yet more different wishes. So when it comes to implementing a higher-level user interface one day, it may be better to make thousands and decimal seperators definable seperately instead of numbering all possible combinations - At the same point, please don't forget about that customization of the space between number and unit... > [btw, it is no problem to make digit handling language dependent, at least > the presets; math/physics is another thing and needs more discussion] My personal opinion is that I wouldn't want function names to be language dependent. Concerning scientific language, a common international set of names / symbols is a progress. Maybe not on the common speech level, but which ordinary human being uses mathematics, anyway ;-) Ok, seriously, as far as German is concerned, I think we are quite happy without internationalization for math / physics. On the other hand, I am neither a mathematician nor a physicist, so there may be things I can't even think of. -- Eckhart ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Great! That reads easier than the module documentation of the source.... :-) Willi ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread

Can the MAGs be added to the documentation section of the web-site? There are enough user who use a simple modem connection to the internet. Forcing them to PDF-based navigation is IMO not a good idea. Best, Jens ^ permalink raw reply [flat|nested] 7+ messages in thread
