First: sorry with my english

When you install msn plus! 3 and you have yo choose the language, they are a mistake in the translation: is the language Espaņol (Espana) and the correct words are Espaņol (Espaņa)

It's Messenger Plus!3, not MSN Plus!3 :)

It's not a bug but a misstake with the translation team if it's wrong.

ņ is not accepted in the limited character set used in the list.
As well as Catalā is shown as Catala, for example.

Edit: Please, try to make your thread titles more comprehensible. Like, bug in language list, whatsoever. Btw, bugs in translations go to the translation forum, not the central bug reports. Feel free to post there in the language the problem was detected in.

Edit (2): I just noticed you wrote Espaņol (Espana) while it is Espanol (Espana), btw.

Hello, I'm one of the translators of plus into spanish_spain.

That's done on pourpose, because that way every one can read the language name and also we, translators, must do that (like KeyStorm said). You can see that, once you select the language, its name appears correctly un the preferences panel of plus, where it says: "Idioma actual: Espaņol (Espaņa)".

Well, I hope you enjoy our translation and feel free to continue reporting bugs in it ;) however, you should follow the "rules" KeyStorm said.

Kryptonate: Thanks for telling me about this thread.

i'm not sure it's not posible to sow te ņ, because in Espaņa is here but no in Espana

Simply: There is a limited character set that can be seen in any windows language. Chinese Windows 98 could probably have problems showing the ņ, for instance. As we have to make sure that anyone can see the list properly it is limited to those characters, excluding Ņ, for example.

which are very few, by the way: 26 upper and lower cased english letters (from a to z) numbers (0..9) and a few puntuation marks ()[]?!... No accents (áéíķú...), dieresis (üī...), tildes (ņ), etc... are allowed.
