>>On the Amiga, you don't reinstall the OS, you just point to a different locale catalog! You also don't have to reboot. The OS and supporting apps will switch over to the appropiate language if available.<< "point to a different locale catalog" imply you have to install the catalog first right? On MacOS System 7.5, just do a "Easy Install" (the standard config), you already have the following languages/keyboard layout: Australian British Danish Danish Mac Plus Dutch Finnish Flemish French French – numerical French Canadian German ISO Canadian Italian Norwegian Spanish Swedish Swiss French Swiss German U.S. U.S. – System 6 You can switch between them in the "Keyboard" Control Panel or using command key, no reboot! Those are all "Roman Script" and you don't need to reinstall the OS to get it. You can Drag and Drop them into/out of your "System" file when no application is running, again no reboot! Install a new "Script System" like Chinese or Arabic require install and reboot. But after that you can switch between any script/language/keyboard anytime. There is a keyboard menu in the menu bar for that perpose. You can even type multiple script/language in the same line of text. This is nothing new, System 6 (late 80's) have about 30 script/languages available include Chinese, Japanese, Arabic and Hebrew. Oh Well… Paul
