the aim is to lower the bar for newbies and people who don't speak any english.
assuming that you are not fluent in italian or german, just try to match the
following words with their german and italian counterparts:
brick
plate
tile
slope
piastrella
piastra
mattoncino
tegola
platte
stein
dachstein
fliese
and try to imagine what people have to face in MLCad. sometimes I still find
myself thinking hard for names or possible descriptions for parts I rarely use.
the thumbnails are a big help but it is quite annoying flicking through the
entire library in search for a specific part. a library in people's mothertongue
would speed things up enormously.

not being a programmer it is my way to add a meta command for a part I created.
http://www.ldraw.org/cgi-bin/ptdetail.cgi?f=parts/30114c01.dat
I'd like to see this feature in a prog in the near/far future and I'd like my
part to support this. as you might know sometimes it takes a long time to push
a part through the PT (right now there is still a part to be certified I created
in 2002) I'm not in the mood to add a meta-command to the part after it gets
supported by a prog, submit it for a single line and cancel all the votes it may
has collected.
