They should try converting that list to the 40+ languages spoken at my school. I remember when the principal at our sister school in Japan was most politely filtered out because of his middle name. :-)<br><br>A polite student grabbed these files for me from home, later set up a forum, sneakernet with USB keys and a mobile phone with too many features took over there. I now have a Network public shared directory / Moodle drop folder to collect these contributions.
