Well if we do get *all* of them then the UI might start to look a bit
odd indeed.

We are not there yet though. This was just to say that it's not
impossible to support more than one (and then, any) variant, and if
people in the respective countries do feel strongly about and go all the
way for a full translation, I wouldn't want to slam the door close in
front of their noses.

In reality, I suspect that in very many cases, the differences are so
small that no sufficient energy is sparked that a team sits down to do
an actual full translation.

Greetings,

Stefan
