Microsoft Office's New Language

Gots_Hussies writes "Stuff.co.nz has an article about Microsoft trying to extend its influence by creating "skins for Office and XP" in other languages, including New Zealands native Maori. "It is one of a series of translations carried out by Microsoft which is creating skins for Office and Windows XP in more than 40 indigenous languages, such as Basque and Catalan." The program changes words in Office programs Excel, Word, and Powerpoint, and also created "2500 terms" for words not in the indigenous language."
