Even better, would be if the user could enter the answer in either form. Better still, would be an option to expect the answer in the user's language, or the native language. And finally (from me), you could even score an answer more highly, if the user gave both forms.:


This works for cities which have an English name, although the 'native' name of Tokyo for example is ?? which I don't think many users would be able to display on their computers if they don't have the Windows language packs for those languages installed.

On another website I'm on, they use tons of cities all around the world. Since the website's language is English, they decided to use the english names of all the cities (Like Rome, Tokyo etc.)

So I say, if the program is built in english, use english names.

I'm saying keep the answers in the same language the rest of the program is written in. So, yes. :p

Ouch lol... its been a year since I mentioned that bug release update... Coming later this month though is Geography Trainer 1.3.5, a modest bug release update (i.e. no new features in this version). :ugeek:
