[rt-users] multiple language support

[Ed Kershenbaum]

Jesse - 

I don't understand the difference between your two answer below.  Could you
clarify?

Specifically, can RT display a different UI for each language, all sharing
the same DB?  Basically, I need an end-user support request input form for
German, French, Japanese, Chinese, etc.

When you below that RT _already_ speaks a number of languages, how is this
different from 3.x?

When do you anticipate a production release date for 3.0?

Thx,

Ed

The current release of RT can not, though the version of RT in
development speaks a number of languages natively.

RT already speaks many of the major Western languages as well as Chinese
and Japanese. Translations to other left-to-right languages are fairly
easy to do, though making rt bi-di safe would take a fair amount of
work. It's something we (BestPractical) could do if you're interested in 
having to done, but it's unlikely to get done on its own.

	Best,
