Possibly. I was thinking that the only thing that would be language
specific about each driver would be the comment section.
<comment>...</comment>
All the other stuff is language independent.
That being the case, it wouldn't be too hard to do
<commant lang="ja_JP.EUCjp">...</comment>
<comment lang="es_ES.ISO_8859-1">...</comment>
and so on, would it?
Or does loading Japanese text in to a non-Japanese aware editor scramble
the text?
