Linus, thanks.

Yes, that was among the first ideas we had, but I don't like leaving it to
customers to have to edit their configurations and often they
don't realize that the configuration is editable and just presume the vendor
doesn't support their market well.

Also, I am not sure how many countries besides Spain, and outside of
Latin America of course, might use Iberian Spanish. Anyone know?
