Hi!
from a mail in Atheos mailing list :) sorry

" One of the things that I have found to be verry usefull under 'other'
 OS's is a unified way of translating Image/Text/Audio .. BeOS has a
 Translator Kit that is higly plugin based. Many of you may know - and
 love - it. I would like to bring something like that to AtheOS, however
 with some changes.
"
Why not some kind of plugin based framework for all this kind of media?
Someone that use Be can explain that thing?

bye bye

PD: sorry my pooor english
