I think part of the problem is that there aren't enough people who truly understand localization. I think I understand most of it, but I'm pretty sure I *don't* understand how collation works, or is supposed to work. Amongst other things, I don't understand how (or whether) it handles cases like "aa" and "=C3=A5", which are considered the same letter = in Norwegian. Perhaps you could create a Localization page on wiki.freebsd.org which addresses these issues, or at least points to relevant resources? DES --=20 Dag-Erling Sm=C3=B8rgrav - des@des.no
