- If we are to have support for multiple languages in a certain
- forthcoming product, what should we use to determine the country?
-
- 1) User is asked when they first run the game. This is saved, but
- can be changed later by selecting an option somewhere.
- 2) Defaults to configured country. This can again be changed, by
- selecting the aformentioned option.
-
- Then, what languages should we support? Due to limited resources
- we will only be able to support a subset of the global languages.
- What are Acorn's major foreign markets?
- (We'll probably do a few more countries than come with the main
- release, but you'd need to ask specifically for them.)
