    Are you showing REAL table and column names in your GUI's? If you do, don't outsource DB dev to a non-english speaking developer 🙂 Believe me, I have to cope with a database that goes with a product that was created in France. All table and column names are French. And although I do speak French as one of the four languages I mastered (kind of), I have a hard time. Guess what your users would be doing to their hairdo if the word "ordinateur" showed up on their screens. :w00t:

    Ha, no I wasn't speaking from a database point of view. I meant advice on warnings, messages, general HCI that sort of thing.
