This way, ring > surfers could skip sites in a language they don't know. This would require a new field in the sites database, and I'm not ready to do that kind of change right now. I guess that rather few people would appreciate such a feature. Also, don't forget that there are other link options (next, prev, rand) where the surfers don't know what site they end up to anyway. Why not simply let the members state the language of their sites in the site description field? That's what I do in my own ring for sites in other languages than English. > Another suggestion would be to have multiple HTML Code URLs, one > for each language if they have more then one. This would definately make the program more complicated than most people would like to see. So I'm afraid that my answers are negative, at least in the short run. But be sure, since I'm Swedish, I feel a lot of sympathy for ideas which recognize the fact that there are other languages than English. :) Actually, when I started to write Ringlink, I had an idea about an option to select language as regards the admin features. But I deemed it to be too complicated, at least for the first Ringlink generation. / Gunnar
