Greetings All-

An opinion question without a right or wrong answer:
(at least I don't think so, but a Scotsman and an Englishman well correct me if I'm wrong)

In 1960 it was estimated that there were 7,500 spoken (written was about a 1,500 less) vital languages in the world. In 1995, the last time I saw the statistic, the estimate had dropped to less than 4,000 each.

My question is: If Windows does not have a version in a particular language - can that language long survive?

Gentlemen, opinions?

Regards-
Simon
