    my father has friends in Austria, Netherlands, Czech, Italy, so in my childhood i heard a lot of different languages, so i think this is why i love hearing the different accents and to play with the langs. since i
    but funnily my accent is from one valley in Tirol area which confuses every other german speaking, because they hear that i am not a native

    This is super Roon,
    My father was stationed in Okinawa and so I grew up hearing more bits of Japaneses and other Asian languages. My mom's father spoke German but didn't want us to learn it as he was sensitive about the war and how they were held in suspicion for it. My Czech was a Prague accent so everyone assumed I was one of the snooty capital people when I was in the country but I never learned to hear the difference. Attitudes always changed when they found out I knew something about fixing water wells or tractors! I had an uncle stationed in Augsberg too so there was Der Spiegle and Oui magazines around. We always had something that wasn't English yet here the shibboleths are very real. I was working in Northern Pennsylvania on the gas pipelines and we had hands from all over Latin America. There was variations in Spanish all over the place and English too. It was very hard for me to understand the welders from Mississippi. I worked with guys from Texas and Oklahoma who's English was different but more in idioms. Still, Pittsburgh isn't so far and they have many different idioms and expressions from here. I think the only other time I really struggled to understand some English was in northern Maine!

    Hello n2qfd!

    Hey gang,

    Has anyone had any experience with non-english support in Mystic? I
    was thinking I might want to circle back around to Esperanto and there
    are some dictionaries for that but it's been sort of a miserable experience trying to just finding the support files. Hunspell has
    support for EO but the routine to get a text file with .dic and
    worldlist has been atrocious. I was also considering non-english
    character such as Hebrew anyone played with that?

    I know this is not an asnwer to your question, but these seems to be zero to none translation support or documentation for Mystic AFAIK.

    I want to translate headers and menus -- which I've done some into spanish and it's proven to be PITA and frustrating fruitles task.

    If anyone difers, please could you show/explain how to translate header files/menus?.

    Thanks

    Thanks for the input and thoughts.

    Sorry to hi-jack, but The Vault huh?, note take, I'll check if I can make my "Traducci¢n al Espa¤ol", less painful.

    Thanks

    I'm just another dumb american - but these are a couple BBSes that I couldn't easily interact with... :P

    The only thing I have that uses non-standard characters is my tv and radio stastion's streaming information. It often looks like garbage. Everything else on my system is English

    The Vault is a top notch BBS - Don Epi just added an ANSI Music Jukebox and also has ANSI TV... really good, unique board.
