Marketing wizardry & handling of far-east languages.

[Sam Bassett RCD]

	I heartily agree that U.S. companies are, for the most part,
abysmally ignorant about internationalization.

	On the other hand, I would counsel the gentleman from Sweden to
get his company to form a partnership with a Japanese (Korean, etc.)
company to develop WP software for those languages.  The Japanese, at
least, have put tremendous effort into handling romaji/katakana/kanji
input, output, and displays -- they are the _experts_ in the language,
after all, and know which optimizations and shortcuts will and will not
work.

	I know what kind of butchery _I_ do to the languages I half-know,
and have seen that kind of English . . .
