First of all, this forum has
nothing to do with MSN!
This forum is about Messenger Plus! an addon for MSN Messenger. Messenger Plus! is written by Patchou and he, nor Messenger Plus!, nor this forum, nor people on this forum have anything todo with MSN, nor with Microsoft...
Messenger Plus! is
not MSN Messenger. Like said before Messenger Plus! is an
addon that adds some extra features to MSN Messenger. Both are independant programs... MSN Messenger is written by the company Microsoft/MSN and Messenger Plus! is written by 1 guy named Patchou....
Second...
What your are talking about are the languages supported in Messenger Plus! (so, nothing todo with msn).
Those languages are made by common people who like the fact that their language is supported, not by professionals. We (the translators) don't get any money for doing that and we put a lot of time in it to make it as good as possible. All this, just because we like Messenger Plus! and just for fun....
Personaly, I realy can't understand why you would be offended if a language/dialect/whatever is supported (unless politics comes in mind).
I don't think any British person would be offended if both British English and American English was supported....
And the same goes for Dutch for example, you can split that up in Dutch Dutch (Netherlands) and Flemish Dutch (Belgium). And if that is called "Dutch", "Flemish", "Dutch (Flemish)", "Belgian" or whataver, I would never be offended by it. How could I? They only remark I could make about it is that it is similar to American English and British English...
Third....
Normaly a pure "dialect" wouldn't be put into Messenger Plus! (otherwise you could add 10000's of languages). The discussion about Valencian being put in or not or being a dialect or not is an ongoing discussion, like there are others (PT Portugues vs. BR Portuguese). If you search the forums you can see/read that...
Fourth....
If you don't want to use Messenger Plus! just because it has Valencian in it, then so be it, nobody is going to force you, but personaly I think that is a bit of a lame excuse... I realy suggest you to reconsider this as Messenger Plus! is a very great addon and nobody forces you to choose Catalan/Valencian/whatever as your userinterface language. If you don't like a language, then don't use the language (heck you can even delete the translationfile if you like)...
