The database I am working on is meant for use by
people in the Netherlands and in the USA, so it should
support both Dutch and English. For th user interface
this works great.

The problem I have is with notes (and other free
text). At this moment I add seperate notes in dutch
and english, and also other text is entered twice,
sometimes on one line (for example occupation)
sometimes as seperate items.

It would be nice if you could specify a language with
each text item. This could be based on the enabled UI
lnaguages. If no language is specified with the text
or if only the default language is specified the
entered text is applicable for all languages.
Otherwise only the text applicable for the UI language
will be shown.

This could be done by adding an extra item to the text
entries in the GEDCOM, with a PGV specific tag,
indicating the language of the text.
My knowledge of GEDCOM is limited, so maybe this is
not possible.

Please indicate if this is possible, and if so if it
would be very difficult to implement. I am quite new
to PGV, so I don't know the ins and outs of it yet.
