Paul .. do you read sand script? I don't. <br>
I would like a map that I can set to display either the local or
another language as an option. <br>
That way I can easily read it, and use it. When I need to see it as
it is displayed locally then I'd change the display option. <br>
Either that or learn a to read sand script etc. <br>
