~> Multilingual word processors
>Jose Prieto

Multilingual and international software is a subject worthy of discussion.
It might be better to do it in net.internat, althought that is for 
standards.

As for your question, *YES*, it is a very worthwhile thing to be able to mix
languages in the same wordprocessor, dynamically. Your company, Intex, isn't
the first to do it, though. I worked at a place that did English, French,
Spanish, and Swedish - we were working on Japanese. All intermixed.

However, Intex may be a better bet than my former employer because it is an
American based company, giving them immediate access to the large Hispanic
market in the United States. Which should be a lot easier for a small
company than selling to Argentina and Colombia.

So much for net.invest. I would be very interested in discussing other
aspects of multilingual software, either by mail, or in another news group.
