To: ihnp4!aluxp!prieto Subject: Re: Multi Lingual Word Processors - Are they needed References: <343@aluxp.UUCP> Could you post more details concerning just what multi-lingual features are involved? I've heard of compilers that use native words for if, while, else, read, write, etc., but most word processors use single keystroke or two-letter commands, only some of which are mnemonic (ie, correspond to an English word). OK, I can see changing such things as .ce ( center), .sp (space), or .pa (page, becomes German .bl or Italian .fo). That should be trivally easy to do. Are you thinking of anything fancier, such as machine-aided translation (built-in dictionary? Case & gender-ending checking as you go?) Any company that could produce these functions would be well worth your investment dollars. mike k
