  I regret ... but saying this you do NOT understand cultural susceptibilities, and probably you are living in a unilingual uni-cultural country!

  Although i PERSONALLY don't mind that you, or any other individual makes mistakes concerning this, I DO REALLY MIND if a company makes mistakes.

  Why? Because this is highly unprofessional!

  I have received soliciting emails from EBay, ever since they bought Skype. You pigs! EBay uses the email of Skype customers for solicitation. Skype uses supernodes, blocks the port for its file transfer so no other application can use it...it is a peace of trash anyway! I use Wavago the real underground dog!

  Bill stopped smoking? I never thought I'd see the day.

  More patches than Windows.

  Two comments:

  1. Actually Skype should look up the default language on your PC at time of installation (when Skype 2.0 does look up your time zone on your PC) and then give you an option to change in the Options menu.

  2. If you would use the Skype for Outlook ("S4O")Toolbar you will find there is a Configuration option to select one of eight languages (including Estonian but not Dutch). So at least the Skype Toolbar group is starting in that direction.

  Also if you look at Skype for IE beta you will find that it auto-selects the country code of the web page not only via the Domain Name URL but also by the primary character set used on the web page. This is then used to determine the country code to add to phone numbers found on the local page. Try it out here.

  So they are starting in this direction but you hae a good suggestion to round it out.

  Bill is divulging part of my privacy here :-( , but vengeance is a word a know: Bill stopped smoking some 45 days ago! Thats double as long as i did! ;-)

  By the way, on the Skype forum some Swiss people were also complaining: they received the e-mail in German, and there are French speaking, Italian speaking and Romansch speaking people in Switzerland!
