What about switching the text and/or contraction table? I'm trying to get a 
feel for what a proper language switching facility would need to support.

By the way: Another item I may get to soon is allowing the text and contraction 
talbes to be specified as a comma-delimited list. If only one table is 
specified then the menu would show the whole list. If, however, more thaone 
table is specified then the menu would show only those tables. That should make 
it easier for those who routinely switch between a specific set of tables. Do 
you think that'd be a useful feature?
