Well, it pays absolutely no attention to the language within the string. The only relevant bits are that the numbers must be displayed using arabic numerals [0-9], and they must be displayed without using a grouping separator (all digits must be consecutive). Someone with more internationalization experience than me (that is, someone with *any* internationalization experience) can probably make a better judgement on how well this would work on international text. ~TJ
