I emerge from my somnolence only to agree with you, and then to disappear.

(Your point is particularly timely as I have just been dealing with someone 
who thinks that to localize a system to X languages, you have to localize 
all the system's messages including the language-name choices, so that 
there is an X**2 increase.  Because, of course, if you are localizing to 
Hopi and Malay, you MUST have the Malay word for Hopi, and the Hopi word 
for Malay.)
