Hi Dennis,<br>
<br>
Surely you can be added to the About page .. I heavily rely on<br>
messages of translators (or better their respective language<br>
coordinators) if they want to be included as I cannot see who is doing<br>
all the work in all languages.<br>
About the flag - well there is always room for improvement and I dont<br>
want to create any conflict here - I always thought language is<br>
"called" chinese - so there must be a chinese flag - Like we have the<br>
same here in Austria/Germany.<br>
Language in austria is (well basically austrian because of some<br>
dialects :) ) German and though whole austria is speaking german<br>
language we know there will be no austrian flag - so we usually always<br>
search for the german language.<br>
But if it common in china/taiwan to see the taiwan flag as<br>
respresentation for chinese(traditional)- I will change it. (please<br>
confirm again)<br>
<br>
kind regards and thanks for your translations!<br>
<br>
Werner<br>
