Do we need more than just internationalizing the Options Dialog? Don't we need Sounds as well? So language-specific SmashPacks?

I can help with the Norwegian translation.

I'd welcome localization options too for both UI and Speech&Sounds. Count me in to help with Dutch translation.

I would certainly welcome a UK English pronunciation of "Z" (Zed) instead of the US version (Zee)

My 3yo already pronounces the letters he learned from BS in English. Since we just adopted him from Kazakhstan in December 2008 the difference between the German and English pronunciation is quite confusing to him. We had to stop using BS and we are desperately awaiting a localized or localizable version. Thank you!

Hebrew fonts will be much appreciated :-)

Yep- language specific smash packs is definitely needed. Danish is a personal strong suit when we get that far.

Type : and don't force the user to DOWNLOAD any additional file if they WISH to let his kid experience with pronounication of different country, it can actually be a fun and educative experience

+1 For different language support
However do not make language pack optional, that's an additional download
Sure this will make your program a bit bigger, but then you keep everything nice and simple for yourself and don't force the user which want to let his kids experience with the souding in different languages. Just ask for the default language during the installation

Hi,
I would Suggest adding Hebrew to The Internalization of This Magnificent Program.
I am Sure A Lot of Hebrew Speaking Parents would Love to use it for their Kids in their Own Native Language !
Thank You and keep up with the good work.

don't forget to support non-US keyboards. Pressing ' on my UK keyboard doesn't generate a response. You have to SHIFT it to a @ instead.

This feature could be merged with the SmashPacks, depending on what will packs contain

This feature would be very welcome. For example, an English "E" is the German "I". I could provide the German soundtrack. ;-)

Yes, sounds have to be culture specific. A French "A" doesn't sound like an English "A".

I know someone for Portuguese :D
