Sure this is a possible solution, but in my opinion not a good one for
two reasons:
- possibly there are also people in other countries using Low Saxon,
e.g. Nederland, US, who might expect a fallback in their second language
- we have to provide 'extra'-versions of our translation, maybe solved
by a script, but for more than two languages I think it's not handy for us
I don't know how the text extraction in the applications exactly works,
but it is probably a good point for the wishlist? What do you think?
