Hi All,
I suggest that
\starthackers dutch english
german czech
italian romanian
ambitious : oblomov bilotta
bigfoot guesswho
giuseppe bourbaki
\stophackers
collects the language translations.
These should be 'labels' (lang-lab) and not interface things, unless i
misunderstand the purpose. Labels also permit accents and non latin chars.
so, any language supported should be mapped (20*20 matrix)
Depending on the amount, i can put'm in a module or lang-* file
Hans

I wasn't thinking of them for labels/translations, actually, but
for language selection: \language[it] => \language[italian] (with
English interface) \lingua[italiano] (with Italian interface) and
so on and so forth. This would mean changing the language names
from system constants to interface constants (or at least
considering the interface constants alongside the system
constants.)
Of course it would also be no problem to set the labels up
as well.
