Hi Tribal and folks,


I was trying to find some minute to clarify this language problem.

I'm sorry but it was defined since the beginning that the language for
the mailing list it's ENGLISH.

So please, it's polite if some one send an email to the ML respect other
people and write in English.


Regards,
