The EU requires this stuff by law and a lot of the necessary patches have been languishing, I have heard.
Keep in mind:
- Germany is the biggest non-Enlglish-speaking Drupal market and German the second most used internet language.
- France is having something of a Drupal awakening.
- Also keep in mind, the 25-member EU has a larger population than the United States.
- These are *not* minority, minor-player issues.
- Call to action: Other open source shopping cart and e-commerce systems are gaining ground in Europe.
I give this a +100 if I may. This and any other internationalization issue.
- hc.
