<div>The user might then switch between displaying them in his/her

still in effect showing a systemic bias towards English. </div>

<font face="FreeSerif">Xiphos' languages file tries to be
localized to a language's own name and encoding, to the
extent it's known and can be done in current font
support. There have been some in the past that were not
localized because of limitations, e.g. Norsk ("grep -A2
-B1 -i '^nb[^a-z]' /usr/share/xiphos/languages") and
Gothic ("grep -B2 -i ^got /usr/share/xiphos/languages").
The original ISO dump from which it was initialized was
all Latin script.<br>
<br>
Oh, look, sil.org moved the ISO dump page *again*...<br>

<font face="FreeSerif">Bibletime propose the tranluction of
the list. If I have difficulties to find something with
xiphos, I jump on Bibletime, but it's not very practical.</font><br>
