    Re: a word in Lego instructions —Richie Dulin
   (...) I suspect 'CLICK' could be regarded as onomatopoeic, and may bypass multiple language requirements of some markets on that basis. (An exception that may also cover other words such as 'CRASH' mentioned by DaveE). Cheers Richie Dulin CO Legeaux (16 years ago, 22-Jun-08, to lugnet.general)

   (...) However onomatopoeia is generally language specific anyway - how do those crazy frenchmen spell a word that sounds like 'CLICK'? ROSCO (16 years ago, 23-Jun-08, to lugnet.general)

   (...) Good point. I wonder how a native french speaker would pronounce a word spelled 'CLICK'? Cheers Richie Dulin CO Legeaux (16 years ago, 23-Jun-08, to lugnet.general)

   (...) Just the same... we even derived an informatic jargon verb, "cliquer". "Click right mouse button" might be translated as "Cliquez sur le bouton de droite de la souris" ;o) Philo (16 years ago, 23-Jun-08, to lugnet.general)
