Tex,
MS is delivering one and only one version of Spanish to the 300 or so =
millions people speaking Spanish whether they are in Spain or Latin =
America (save time and money)
I'm investigating their process and will get back to you with more =
information in a short while.

Multilingual Computing has also posted the article.
The article: "The Quest for El Dorado: A Single Spanish for All" has
been posted to http://www.multilingual.com/pMartin42.htm
Pat, I saw some questions about how Spain's Spanish is handled and
whether Microsoft used a single Spanish around the world, or whether
there were separate L.A. Spanish and Iberian Spanish. Can you comment?
Also can you provide any update on whether anything has changed since
the article was written?
