    That's why he wrote it the way he did. He is proposing that there be a Spanish
    dictionary for the program which would list words in plain ASCII characters,
    i.e. without the usual diacritical marks, so that files sent to other people
    that are using a e.g. Latin-1 character set would see real characters, albeit
    not grammatically correct, but far more understandable than the usual question
    marks or empty boxes.

    Because he KNOWS most users of this list are speakers of English, he requested
    that somebody with better English than his translate his note into English.
    Nothing wrong with that, I think. As you see, he is way ahead of you.

    In any case, unless the developer of the program chooses to limit its
    distribution to English-speaking countries, it doesn't seem fair to prevent its
    non-English-speaking users from asking for help, giving it, or making comments.
    Those who can't read such messages will have lost nothing if they just skip
    them.
