Dear developers, I got this from a user of one of my mailing list, where I have allowed all possible languages for a user interface -- and I *do* get bad errors that kill the outgoing runner, seen mostly when users chose "ja" (Japanese) and "fr" (French)

Can you advise me (as site and list administrator) what I could / should do and try?

Is this the proper mailing list? Regards,

Martin Maechler <maechler@stat.math.ethz.ch> http://stat.ethz.ch/~maechler/ Seminar fuer Statistik, ETH-Zentrum LEO C16 Leonhardstr. 27 ETH (Federal Inst. Technology) 8092 Zurich SWITZERLAND phone: x-41-1-632-3408 fax: ...-1228 <><
