<pre>"In terms of deployment, I don't think the community will approve canceling the 'name' tag completely.<br> <br>So an alternative plausible solution could be to have a mechanism<br>which refers to one of the name:xx, such as Tal has suggested. We<br>could agree on some escape character that is used inside the tag<br>content ($ or \ or whatever is not commonly used). We would have<br>something like that:<br>name=$(name:fr)<br>name:fr="French Here"<br>name:en="English Here"<br>name:ar="Arabic Here" "<br><br><br>Interesting idea, but how would changing the content of the name tag to something like the above be better<br>than getting rid of it completely? Wouldn't that still break existing apps? If so, you might as well get<br>rid of it and go with the "local=" idea.<br><br>Tagging every text entry (not just names) with a language would have been the way to go from day 1, but with so many done already<br>it seems like a lost cause.<br><br>Gavin<br><br></pre><br /><hr />HotmailŪ is up to 70% faster.
