* - Votes: 1 - Poor line folding (word wrap) behaviour on Japanese text - 
** I know fixing only for Japanese texts is not hard, but I believe we need to take care of other languages such as Arabic or Thai. We need some general mechanism. -- Alissa Sabre 05:34, 27 July 2007 (PDT)
* - Votes: 0 - Wrong characters in Chat Log and IM Log when using umlaut characters (e.g. German äöüÄÖÜ) - 
** Nati and I (Alissa) didn't get consensus on "what is problem." In her opinion, use of UTF-8 in chat log is the bug, since most text editors can't handle UTF-8, and she wants SL chat files be created using Latin-1 or CP1252. In my opinion, use of UTF-8 is OK, and the issue is how we can avoid user's confusion/complains... -- Alissa Sabre 05:52, 27 July 2007 (PDT)

* - Votes: 2 - Need for a better mechanism to add new UI translation - 
* - Votes: 1 - Switching of UI language requires viewer restart -
