ok, those are easy (well, theoretically)

this is a bit harder, as the example may be so trivial as
to not need translating (like the one for <l>), or be in a neutral
language, and it is hard to tell whether its culturally-specific
without a native speaker looking at it. I mean, localizing examples
goes beyond simple language.  It may well be that classicial
scholars (in whatever language) may like a whole different set of
examples from those who deal with spanish literature of the 20th
century (of course)


by the way, re the i18n page, note that Marcus Bingenheimer now in
